a quick after-moot report.
I broke my glasses on Saturday morning, just by pulling a sweater over my head. I do this all the time without taking my glasses of, now the frame is broken. Fixed it with tape during the moot.
On Monday, I went right to the optician. There I was told they could fix it, but not here, because they can't solder it here, the glasses must be sent away. I asked "how long might it take"... guess what... TEN DAYS.
I asked how I was to work without glasses and all I earned was a shrug of shoulders. Ah well, I got new ones then. New frame 120 EUR, new glasses 290 EUR, makes 410 EUR. Okay, now they have an offer, so I only have to pay half for the frame, makes 350 EUR still. The best thing is, I have an insurance for the glasses, expiring on April, 15th. So get I another 150 EUR, leaving me with 200 EUR for the new glasses.
I'm really glad the frame broke at the moot and not next month.
(though I still wear the taped ones as the new one takes two weeks to arrive, too.)
Oh, and fixing the old ones would cost 40 EUR. By accepting an other offer for "substitute glasses - buy two, pay one full, the other only partly" I get a second pair of glasses (all new and shiny and with a new insurance police) for 60 EUR.
