Picture My World

I’m on my way home from a quick trip to Edmonton where we visited a couple of printers.  I always take along a digital camera on these trips, but there was a mixup yesterday and the camera wasn’t available.  Luckily, we had some visitors from Kodak corporate who had an Easyshare One we could borrow on short notice.

Unfortunately, we didn’t take a charger (I forgot to ask in the panic to get to the airport) and I just hoped it would be alright given it was just for a day.  Of course, it wasn’t and the camera’s battery died after the morning visit.  We had a couple hours to kill, though, so we decided to go to West Edmonton Mall, get lunch, and try to find someplace who would charge the battery.

So, we go to London Drugs’ camera department and first ask if they have a battery we could purchase.  It turns out new batteries don’t come charged, though.  So, we explain our situation and ask if they can charge the battery for us.  The nice woman says sure and asks for my contact info, so I give her my card.  My Kodak card.

She says, “You work for Kodak and you don’t have a charger?!”

I laughed and replied, “Don’t ask!” and quickly walked out as fast as possible as a crowd of people looked on.
