Yeah – late getting a post up today. As if this class that is ruining my life weren’t enough, this morning I discovered that my most prized possession, my baby is not working!
Gaaaaaaaaaah!
You know what I mean – my *sob* – my camera!
It was fine last night when I read it a story and tucked it into it’s eiderdown quilts and left the night light on so it wouldn’t be scared.
This morning – nothing. It looks like everything should be working. It sounds like everything should be working. Alas, it is not working. All of my wailing and gnashing of teeth and offering to go be a missionary in some nasty spider infested locale, if only it would start working has produced zero results. [I knew that missionary thing wouldn’t work anyway – God knows me way too well to fall for that.]
Consultations with Nikon support left the tech flummoxed as well. [Let me just insert a comment about Nikon support – after navigating the support menu, I did not have to sit on hold for even 1 second. Adam picked up immediately and actually listened to my list of things I had already tried, and unlike most tech support, did not make me repeat any of it to satisfy SOP. Awesome.]
My strongest urge is to get in the car and drive to Best Buy in Ithaca and grab a D80 body, because in looking online, I see they have one in stock. I need my camera don’t you think? But – I am going to act like an adult and wait to see what the trouble is. So Tuesday morning, I have to pack my baby off to Nikon Service and waitwaitwaitwait for them to let me know what is wrong and what can be done about it.
I hate being mature and reasonable. I need chocolate.
What's the point to the trial if it isn't difficult?
Besides, I'll bet there's lots of tomatoes that are needing attention. ;>)
Chocolate and a glass of wine and a nice cocktail hour spent on the porch. You deserve it. It has been a rough day.
I SO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FEELING…ONLY MY camera is fine its MY COMPUTER !!!! it only works in spurts and dell has been working on it relentlessly but, it looks like tuesday will be the next date as no mail for the second disc to come … sob… I hope your baby is up and running and I ate some dove milk chocolates in sympathy for you!
HUGS Laura
I don’t comment often (have I ever? I”m not sure…), but I enjoy looking at all of your photos. I hope your camera gets fixed quickly for you!
It’s an incredibly empty feeling, isn’t it? I had that happen to my Canon S3IS and I thought I was going to lose my ever lovin’ mind before it came back to me.
I feel your pain. I shall telepathically send chocolate.
You have my sympathies.
My prescription is to eat chocolate and drink wine. Repeat until camera is fixed.

No pictures on sunday! That makes me sad but I know it isn’t your fault or the fault of the camera…sob I think I will get over it. :)
Oh that’s too bad! I’m sorry! Yes, go to BEST BUY!
OMG. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I am so sad for you. Let’s hope the baby comes home good as new without a high bill.
Im a new mother of a Nikon. I hope its nothing genetic. :)
That is terrible, I don’t know what I would do with out my camera. Even on days I don’t get out with it I still can see it!!!
Hope its nothing too serious and you get it back fast…
Cameras and computers…either one dies, a little bit of me does too. I is so hard to live without either!
You have my deepest sympathies!
so sorry to hear about your camera!! I am keeping my fingers crossed for a quick return from the camera clinic.
I about cried when I had to send my baby Rebel Xti off because dirt got inside the camera body. I know how you feel. Good luck and God speed. =D
Oh girl. I so feel your pain. Mr. Rebel stopped working in May. Same thing – everything looked like it should be working. Pictures were black. Turns out the shutter pin was bent. I had to do a lot of online research to find that out. Took it to a local camera shop and had it fixed for about half of what Canon would have charged.
