The cruelest irony of all...

icepixie...is when a person who wears glasses needs to repair part of his or her set of spectacles.
(I have somehow lost the screw that holds in one of the nosepads on my current pair. I attempted to substitute a screw from my older pair--using only one, squinted eye, because the astigmatism in my left eye makes it basically useless for close work without my glasses--but apparently it's a different size. Now I am using duct tape until I can make it somewhere that sells such items, hopefully tomorrow after work at the journal.)
WOE.

I'm planning to just go to an eyeglasses chain and hit them up for a properly-fitting screw rather than fool around with kits and whatnot.
Ummmm yeah. That excellent idea occurred to me *after* I'd spent ages trying to find various whatnots. (Whatsnot?)

I went this morning, and even though I'd never been there before, they gave me the screw and screwed the nosepad back in for free! Yay customer service!
