This week has had it’s ups and downs. The downs have mostly been related to technology failing on me. Firstly came the death of my 85mm lens which seized up making focusing very difficult, then my Macbook power supply cable caught fire which is a surprisingly common complaint, finally today I also discovered that my macbook CD drive will not accept audio CDs (can you feel my love for apple….).
On the upside all of the relevant service centres have been reasonably helpful in particular Yobodashi Camera who I expected to try and return my lens to be repaired, just offered me a replacement straight off the bat, which I expected to have to fight for. The apple-care people have been reasonably helpful so far but seemed to imply this is only as I have a warranty with them and that this helpfulness will cease once this expires and I shall have to resort to being an angry customer.
I have also been having problems with my mail arriving, this has caused problems as things like my phone bill have not been delivered. I eventually gave in and went to the post office and had a whine and moan about it, they pleaded innocence, however later that day I received a whole stack of mail . This may however have been a coincidence, but I’m sceptical….
