I took my car in this afternoon to get new tires, brakes, and an oil change. On my way, I stopped at the bank, where the teller gave me a little box of candy hearts. It was a nice gesture, but ugh. I’ve always hated them. They were sort of amusing, though. What kind of person would give someone a candy heart that says, “IN A FOG”?
Happy Valentine’s Day, foggy folks!
I mentioned (or maybe not) that I bought a couple of fun toy lenses. Toys, in this case, costing about $100. So they’re expensive for toys, but not for lenses, which can run in the thousands. Anyway, I received them a week or so ago, and one was for the wrong friggin’ camera mount. Grrr. I’ve been trying to email and call the company I ordered from (alas, not the manufacturer, and I’m kicking myself for not ordering directly from them). Bupkis.
They aren’t exactly a fly-by-night company, but I’ve heard complaints that their customer service sucks ass, Mr. Garrison. I’ve ordered from them in the past (a lots42!) with no problem, so apparently it was time that my good luck ran out.
I guess I’ll just return the lens with a copy of the receipt and a polite but irritated letter, and hope for the best, as the lens as it is is of absolutely no use to me.
Alsotoo, this means standing in line at the PO, which is so not my favorite thing to do.
Adorama, you are on my shit list!
