Bloke comes in. “are my glasses ready yet” “let me just have a look” “coz its been a week and you said a week” (his tone getting a bit hostile) “yes the have arrived” “well I wasn’t told” “well looks like they arrived Friday and we left message on the number you gave us” “well I didn’t get it” “ok, umm sorry about that. Well they are here now. If you’d like to take seat ill fit them” “well this message I didn’t get it” “we would have called you again. We call when they come in and if we don’t directly speak to you and you haven’t been in contact. We wait a few days and call you again.” “oh so I could have been waiting a few more days for them” (trying to defuse the hostility) “well they are here now, lets get them fitted” “ohh I cant get them now. I don’t get paid till next month. Ill be in Thursday or Friday when ive been paid”

Phone rings. “I cant read my prescription” “was it from a test we did” “yes” “ok found it what’s the problem” “I cant read it” “ok well the photo copy I have here is perfectly legible for anyone that needs to read it” “well I cant read it” “well you have the original and I have a photocopy and I can read the copy fine. Anyone that is making anything up will understand it so don’t worry. If they have any problem get them to call me” “well I cant read it” “ok why what’s the problem with your original?” “The first box its got a squiggle in it” “umm that’s infinity” “what” “its infinity, it’s the symbol for infinity” “what’s that?” “The symbol is for infinity its called a lemnsgate or lenmsate or something I cant remember but it looks like an 8 on its side right?” “Yeah but what is it?” “it’s the symbol for infinity, don’t worry anyone that it making up the prescription will understand” “what is it?” “it just means infinity” “BUT WHAT IS INFINATY” “pardon?” “What is infinity?” “what’s infinity?” “Yeah?” “Well in means goes on forever, no end sort of thing” “I don’t understand. What is infinity? ” “Well in this case you really don’t need to, just don’t worry about it. It all written out correctly you just need to hand it in to be made up” “but I don’t understand what’s in the box” “its just the symbol for infinity and it looks like an 8 on its side. Its written out in standard notation so the people making the lenses knows exactly what’s going on.” “Shall I write that word on it?” “What word” “infinity” “NO don’t right anything on it al all or it could get made up wrong. Just go and had it in” “well if you are sure its ok”

Creepy encounter with a woman at lunch. In the centre there is a space that has different stands 50% of the time it’s a charity. The other half its will wrighting or insurance etc. I try to amble passed it as fast as possible as to not have precious minuets of my lunch break wasted. Today im walking passed it and a woman blocks my way. Attempting to hand me a leaflet. She kind of odd looking. Fairly normal at first glance. smartly dressed and in her 20’s but her jacket looks about 20 years old and very worn, and her glasses look like a snail has been using them for a treadmill. I can’t see the front of the stand. “What’s it for?” “Do you have a few mins?” “not really I have to get back to work (look in cex for an mp3 player)” “shame” she snatches back the leaflet and looks sad. “What’s if for?” “Na ahh, what time do you finish work?” “umm 5” “ok well ill wait for you, come back at 5” “wha..” “Bye for now, see you at five, I’ll be waiting for you, you can find out then ”  and starts doing a little flappy hand wave at me.

Now. Im not saying anything or accusing anyone of anything but I just think it’s a tiny coincidence that when ever the funeral place hearse rolls passed in the morning the “luck heather” “women” have flowers instead of heather when I pass them at lunch
