So today is the day! I'm relieved to be able to check this off my list. Not that I don't like doing it, because once I get going it's fun, but you know those tasks you really want to do but have a hard time starting?
Ok, let's see ... what's happened since Feb 11th?? Business or personal first? Business woman inside my head is saying "Pick business bonehead!" She is really bossy so that's what I will choose.
I scored a gig shooting a meeting/workshop for the school board which was awesome! You may think I'm lying but I actually really enjoyed it. It was held on a Thursday so I got to work on a regular work day like everyone else, and I have never done it before so I was excited to break into a new area of production!
Bad news about my camera. I can talk about now because it's all better (thanks to the husb, as always). My LCD screen was acting up and eventually went so dark that I couldn't see what I was shooting! So Matt took it into the Sony factory. Guy says it's probably going to be around $500.00 to fix it. He thinks it's a wire, but Sony won't care and will just put a whole new screen on. Cue the tears. Now I don't mind paying for repairs to my equipment because it kinda comes with the territory, but holy hell I've only had this camera for 2 years, I use it maybe 25 times a year, I treat it with the utmost tenderness of care, not to mention I'm not even close to having it paid off!
So with wedding season getting dangerously close, I take a risk and say I will try to find someone else to fix it. Matt works in Whitby everyother week so I take a shot in the dark that there is a place that repairs electronics. Hallelujah!!! MTC (manufaturing and technology centre) they say that they will have a look at it and I have high hopes.
Bad news: they don't fix "professional" equipement.
Good news: The chick is annoyed that I'm expected to pay $500.00 for a new screen after 2 years. She says there was a Sony rep coming in and she will see what she can do.
Verdict: About $138.00 with tax to get it fixed and it will be ready in 5 business days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cue more tears. Not crazy tears though just a couple small happy tears.
Yikes this blog is getting kinda long ... bettter save the personal stuff for my next blog. Which will be in a couple days. Giving myself a deadline .. this is good for me .. I work well under pressure.
Final note: I have said it before and I will say it till the day I die, I have the best husband in the world because he always makes sure everything will be ok!! Except if he's had too much to drink and I am stranded on a cold never ending walk home .... right Erin Wall??? Hilarious and adventurous details to follow.
peace.
