*sheesh* And Baby Giraffe

[feng_shui_house]

EDIT: Well, I was going out but the taxiguy isn't accepting phone calls. I remember him saying last week that there was a birthday coming up in his family, plus his daughter just finished reading the Koran, which calls for a special celebration. I'm feeling a bit tired all of a sudden anyway. Shall take off my shoes & have a lie down. Maybe I'll go to the PO tomorrow early in the day.

I woke up several times. At quarter to 7 I figured I'd get up & post pics before the Canon help line opens at 9. At 9 I found out I'd have to call at 10 to get the dept. I needed. At 10 I found out that NO I won't be charged if Canon looks at the camera & finds nothing wrong with it. Also found out I had to fill out a PDF form which she'd email me a link to. I got the form, Adobe crashed just as I was putting in the last bit of info. Got the form again, filled it out. They want printouts to show the problem. I'd already selected representative pics from the zoo & put them on CD for Canon. I got out the good photo paper & printed 2 pics up on one page & wrote notes describing pic on the page. Ran out of ink after the second page. Put in new ink. Forgot how to set the printer for photo paper but kept printing & noting. Finally remmbered how to set the printer, got it to work good for the last two pages of blurry, washed outs. Removed strap, batteries & memory chip, left lens cover on, packed up camera with bubble wrap & all the paperwork (copy of bill of sale & warranty card, note about what was wrong, filled out PDF, printouts, etc. etc.) Am now TIRED. It's going for noon. Shall try to find something to eat before I fill out mailing label & call Taxi to go to PO. Must remember to get tracking & $360 insurance on camera. Will also mail package to my partner in crime, so the taxi trip will serve 2 functions...

Have a baby giraffe as a teaser for tomorrow.

EEEEEE - a folding baby giraffe! I can´t wait for more!
And...no wonder you are tired. I will keep my fingers crossed for ou with the camera!

The baby was SO cute.

I am relaxing a bit with this game where you cure toys with psychiatric problems then I'll nap. I'd already cured all of them before, but there are hidden things you can find if you do things differently.

Wow, this link is awesome, I have to find time to stay there longer! Thanks:-)

I hope you enjoy it. :^)

It's just like spacefall's bicycle, that folds into a canvas bag for going on trains and buses. I got to ride it - including crossing the river Avon several times. :D

It looks like the poor thing was too tired to hold its head up any longer.

RE: forms, pdf or otherwise: HATEHATEHATEHATEHATE. I am trying to do passport applications for our children, and the requirements are just ridiculous. (Sara commented that the adult passports are the ones that should be hard to get. She has a point.)

I think the giraffe was investigating movement- later I saw her chewing on her right rear ankle.

The Canon return PDF is only one page, thank heaven, and not complicated, basically they want your contact info and identifying info on the product & its warranty status & have a text box for a brief description of the problem.

My first thought: I *really* need a Canon Helpline!

Aw, folding giraffe!

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

OOh, yes! Phone them and they tell you Watsons *real* first name, how exactly he got 'un-wived' each marriage, and the proper chronology.

The giraffe was a week old that day and still remembered being folded up. :^)

So precious--can hardly wait for tomorrow.

I'm going to make the baby giraffe pics last a few days so people don't get scrolling overkill. :^)

Baby giraffe is adorable. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's giraffe photos! :o)
Hope everything works out with your camera.

Thanks! I'm actually relieved to have made a decision to send it off. Whatever happens at least I'll have tried. My old earlier model Powershot with shorter zoom still works and I can live with its main problem (I can't close up the monitor so it's all scratched & hard to see), so I can still take butterfly pics & house pics.

Lovely pic!
