The most striking thing about my glasses seems they are never there when I need them. Recently for example, a library book was overdue and I had been charged a reminder fee. I hurried to the bank to take care of the wire transfer. I approached a confidently looking employee in his thirties, asking for help to fill in the form since I didn’t carry my reading glasses, and wasn’t comfortable reading the small numbers. No problem, he said proudly, I’ll do it for you! But half way down he stopped scribbling, suddenly a confused expression on his face. He ripped the paper to pieces and grabbed a new form. He was still trying to smile brightly when I giggled, I thought YOU didn’t need glasses… The same step was repeated three times, and each time he stopped and started all over. Finally a fourth form got finished somehow, and I was of the opinion this story had come to a good end. Until library staff told me my money had not been received and some figures on my wire receipt were misspelled.. So obviously, I wasn’t the only glasser without glasses, and maybe he had never felt the need to get himself some visual aid, I thought, used to working on screens all day which enlarge everything just as desired. An e-glasser you might say…
