WOYWW 241: the one where she jumps for joy

Once again I'm joining Julia, our beloved leader, along with other Deskers for What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday.

On my desk table is a box, a plastic bag, and the obligatory rocking horse (which I'm sure is what you actually came to see).

The condensed version of this tale is: my friend Sally told me I had to call Nikon and get a return order so I could return the camera I had purchased in October.  She's a QVC junkie and that's how they do it there.  I told her I wanted to keep my options open, even though I had bought this camera a little over 90 days ago at Office Depot, a big box electronic store in the US.

So I ignored her words of advice and returned to Office Depot where I asked what my options were for upgrading to a better camera, since the one I had was NOT functional.  Even though I loved it, I couldn't continue to return the camera because it wouldn't charge.  It was the second one I had returned due to this exact same defect.

I can't wait to charge the batteries, which incidentally are 4 each AA batteries.  As many know who follow my blog, I have a TON of AA and AAA rechargeable batteries.  I was thrilled.

The store manager told me there were very few cameras left after the Christmas rush, but this one was in stock and was the one I chose.  It's supposedly much better than the one I originally bought and the cost shows it, too.  At least I didn't have to start from scratch, as they allowed me to return my original camera and use it as partial payment for the upgrade.  Needless to say, I'm SO glad I tried my way first, rather than calling Nikon.  And Sally was stunned that it was such an easy return, too.

If you are visiting from Julia's please leave your number.  I'll find you, I promise!  And next week hopefully you won't have to strain to see the photos or the rocking horse.
