A while ago a friend came up with the idea of Polaroid week, a week of posting our favorite Polaroids. This gave me a chance to use my SX70 again. I looked online to see if I can get time zero film cheaply, to my surprise and dismay I found this on the Polaroid site.

Please be advised that Polaroid will be discontinuing the manufacture of its SX-70 / Time-Zero film within the first 3 months of 2006 due to the phasing out of components used in the production of this film.

We realise that this is disappointing news for our loyal SX-70 users and we would like to underline that, although the circumstances made it inevitable, it was not an easy decision.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

For customers who would like to continue using their SX-70 camera, we can offer some film alternatives below. However, we do appreciate that these films do not offer the same characteristics as SX-70 / Time-Zero film.

This conversation took place between a fellow employee and Staples customer service. Read on and enjoy.

STAPLES: "Hello, Mr. C, this is Staples calling. We're sorry, but your order placed on 8/10 has been delayed one business day. Do you accept the delay or do you want to cancel the order?"
B: "um, OK... when will it be delivered?"
STAPLES: "It will be delivered on 8/11"
B: "No, when WILL it be delivered"
STAPLES: "8/11"
B: "No, that was four days ago"
STAPLES: "Yes"
B: "Yeah, so when are you GOING to deliver it?"
STAPLES: "8/11"
B: "No, I don't think you understand. 8/11 was last Friday"
STAPLES: "Yes"
B: "Um.. OK... How about tomorrow? Can you deliver it tomorrow?"
STAPLES: "Yes"

This morning I decided I should take a nice swim up the Hudson, up to the boat basin then back down to 30th and strait to work only to find out someone saw a manatee swimming in the river. So I can no longer swim in the Hudson River. Jesus Christ, cant a guy swim in peace without someone thinking I’m a goddamned Manatee? Oh sure make fun of the fat guy, it’s fun to make fun of the fat guy. Bastards, every single one of you. Oh yeah I’m sure you wanna see me split my head open like piggy. gaaaaaaa

She handed back my boarding pass and license and said, “Your license is expired, can’t let you in”. With My eyes wide open I examined my license and noticed it expired 4 days ago, “WHAT??!!”, came out of my mouth. “But, but, but what do I do now, I don’t have any other ID. I need to leave now, you don’t understand I need a vacation and this is my only chance”. She then said “go to information, they will help you”. I ran down the hall and found Information he reprinted my boarding pass and the only difference was 4 “S” along the bottom. I ran back and asked “is this good?” She said ”Yes it is”.

A smile crossed my lips as I placed my bags on the conveyer belt, but the smile turned upside down when some TSA agents grabbed my bags and myself and said, “Will you come with us?” Ahh. What the hell is going on, I thought to myself. I really don’t need this. They sat me down in front of a table and I watched as this big guy tore through my stuff, manhandling my personal belongings, pulling out my keys and examining my key drive as if he’s never seen one, visions of man’s first vision of fire crossed my mind. He grunted “waz thiz?” “A Key drive, you plug it into a computer.” I said. “Oh OK” They then asked me to stand and take off my belt and shoes; I thought I was going to have to pull my pants down. They extensively glided a metal detector around me over and over again. They handed me back my boarding pass my license, my shoes and my belt. I shuffled back to meet up with J and T, who were waiting at the bar, still holding on to my belt and holding up my pants. I ordered a screwdriver and my vacation officially started.
