Eyeglass Chronicles, part 78. I had an appointment to see the ophthalmologist yesterday, but when I got there, the lights were off and the place was locked up, more or less tight. Turns out that they made my appointment at their other offices, about 40 kilometers away. Why they would think I wanted that, I cannot say. The appointment was made for late in the day, after their phones went off line, so I couldn't even call them to let them know (no voice messaging available after hours -- that's helpful). So today I've got to ring them back to let them know what happened. All they know at this point is that I was a no-show. Will this never end?
