torquillScratch Lenscrafters off my list. I've been going there for glasses and eye exams ever since I dropped Kaiser at the start of the decade, and haven't had any trouble. I walked in there today to discover that they cleaned the place with something containing ethers. Beautiful.
I hung around long enough to tell a counter clerk I had to cancel (I was debating walking out and calling instead, but I was right there, and surely I'd get to talk to someone any minute now...) I told her I couldn't tolerate whatever it is they clean with, and I'd have to cancel. She asks me, "Would you like to reschedule?" Uh...
I repeated what I had said, that I can't tolerate the store at all, and left. I had lost enough brain cells without spending more time trying to figure out how to respond to brainless (or simply reflex) questions.
I spent twenty minutes standing around at Costco to find out that I can't get an appointment there until tomorrow at the earliest. Yay for bringing my book, boo for my poor feet.
I'll try Costco tomorrow. If I strike out there, I'll try Penney's. I need new contact lenses by the end of the week, and to do that I have to get a prescription. (Why? Why do you have to get a doctor's prescription to obtain something that can, at its worst, give you eyestrain and a headache? WTF?) I'm just so tired of this whole song and dance sometimes. Why couldn't I have gotten sensitized to something less common?
