As a kid I
use to get this day off… as well as February 22. Washington’s birthday… but
I believe it was Nixon decided two day off in February,was too
much.. and threw in PRESIDENT to combine both days. And the people must
have like it, as it gives a 3 day weekend.. Which was part of
the deal. I find it annoying., as the bank is closed
and no mail, but then I am retired. And
when I was working, it didn't make any difference. As the company didn't give
holidays off, unless you put in for it by the 15 of the prior month. And we didn't get paid time and half, as they decided to give us our birthday as a
holiday. Which we still had to ask for it off by the 15th of the
previous month.. but we did get time and half if we worked it. Now
days, kids probably don’t even know it is Lincoln’s birthday.
I got a new
camera… my old one was dying.. the connection didn't work on the computer
anymore.. so had to remove the memory card (thank goodness it has one) and get
my pictures.. the on and off switch is getting temperamental and
sucking the
juice out of the batteries way faster than it use to.. So replacement time.. It is
over 10 years old… in electronics, that is really old. And the new and improved is
a learning curve.
So..
research.. got to keep it simple.. my brain is just not up to lots of new
stuff. I found what I would like.. best
price was at Walmart.. and because it is this time of the year (new ones
coming out end of March, lot of people are using their phones) prices are
pretty low… running half of what I paid last time, this time with more power.. But Walmart
was out….the salesman says order it on line and they will deliver to the store
for free… Nice idea.. but they were out
of stock. So tried Best Buys.. they were out of stock… Costco.. out of stock..
finally I found 2 on Amazon.. ordered it fast.
AND TODAY.. it arrived..
Now I have to
learn all over again. It may not be too bad.. as a lot of the things are similar
to my old one.. I can only hope.. I did put it together fairly easy.. and then I
decided maybe I should read the directions.
But so far, so good.
