Well, as you can see my attempt to extract the trapped 8mm tape from the old camera didn't go quite as smoothly as I'd hoped:

Where's your resale value NOW?
Where's your resale value NOW?


Please note in particular the tape sitting safe as houses in the middle of the photo still tightly ensconced in the loader mechanism, despite giving it my all with a screwdriver, a nail clipper and finally, brute force. The latter had me feeling more than a little like a gorilla wrestling with a piece of Samsonite luggage. My icon is the best way I can depict my feelings after giving up, defeated by a 2 inch x 2 inch piece of metal.

*sigh*

Tonight and tomorrow Tery tells me I am to conduct "working interviews" on two prospective replacements for the full-time overnight position. I promise to do my best to not abuse my power...too much. And to wear a bra.

Yikes. I've been there! It sucks. I hope you find a way to salvage it.

Tery has the magic touch, it turns out. She whispered softly to it and coaxed it out through the side somehow. If I'm the gorilla, she's the butterfly in our relationship.

The very last camcorder in the world was destroyed today. Digital cameras rejoice.
