To See Or Not To See

I went to the eye doctor the other day. I thought it was time to have my eyes checked. It turned out to also be a reality picture checkup.</p><p>I enter the office to be greeted by the receptionist, "Can I help you?"</p><p>"I hope so." I reply, "I'd like to have the doctor check my eyes and write me a prescription so I can get some new glasses."</p><p>"He can't see you today," the receptionist tells me.</p><p>"Something wrong with his eyes?" I ask with a smile.</p><p>"Pardon me?"</p><p>"Why can't he see me today? Does he have temporary blindness?"</p><p>"No, he is too busy to see you."</p><p>"I've been really busy a couple of times in my life and I never noticed any difference in my sight."</p><p>"What are you talking about?" she asks.</p><p>"Impaired vision." I answer.</p><p>"Well, you are in the right place," she says.</p><p>"But not the right time it appears," I counter.</p><p>"Looks that way," she affirms.</p><p>"Will he be able to see me tomorrow then?"</p><p>"No, he can't see you tomorrow. He won't be here."</p><p>"I see." I say.</p><p>"How about the day after tomorrow? He can see you then." she asks.</p><p>"He can see into the future?"</p><p>"Is there something wrong with you?"</p><p>"Well, I am a little nearsighted," I reply.</p><p>"Do you want an appointment to see the doctor or not?"</p><p>"Yes, I would."</p><p>"What time?"</p><p>"How about now?"</p><p>"I think you also need to get your hearing tested," she tells me. "I already told you that he can't see you now. You need to have an appointment."</p><p>"But I do have an appointment," I tell her.</p><p>"What?"</p><p>"I am here for my 11 o'clock appointment."</p><p>"You have an appointment for now?"</p><p>"Yes, that's why I am here."</p><p>"I don't see you in my appointment book," she tells me.</p><p>"The doctor can't see me and you don't see me. I feel like I am invisible."</p><p>"Did you make an appointment?"</p><p>"Yes."</p><p>"When?"</p><p>"Now, today at 11."</p><p>"It is not in my book."</p><p>"Most occurrences in life are not in your book."</p><p>"Pardon me?"</p><p>"Do you have a lunch date for today in your appointment book?" I ask.</p><p>"What? No, I do not."</p><p>"You see? That's great. I'll take you to lunch right after my appointment."</p><p>"Ok. Ok. I give up," she tells me, "No lunch date, but you can see the doctor next."</p><p>"You're sweet," I tell her.</p><p>"You're crazy," she tells me.</p><p>My prescription ends up being unchanged since my last eye examination five years ago. The doctor can also see just fine. He wants to read my books.</p><p>? Leslie Fieger.
