Just got our school pictures back a few days ago. Can't complain. Definitely better than last year. The thing that I find ridiculous/hilarious are the pictures of those who went out of their way to make sure they looked good on picture day. Their pictures don't even slightly resemble them. Sometimes this is a good thing, but mostly not. I totally don't understand the point of getting all dressed up. Sure, you want to look nice/clean, but is that really how you want people to remember you (if they can recognize you)? Seriously, folks? It's getting kinda out of hand here. While picking mine up last year I got to watch the lady shuffle through the piles of photos. First she tried to hand me one of a girl with red-ish contacts, blonde hair, who appeared to have sneezed immediatly before the camera clicked. Slightly insulting. I gave it back. Next I recieved one of a boy. I am not a boy. Do I look like a male? Slightly more than slightly insulting. I handed it back. The third envelope shoved into my hand didn't even have any pictures in it. Come on! Ignoring her protests I came behind the counter and rifled through the box until I found mine. People (exasperaed sigh)!The worst part of pictures is the angry camera people. Why are they so infuriated all the time? Their job entails, what, telling a kid to smile and then pushing a button? Oh, and you also have to alphabetize their forms. What horror! Plus, I totally miss the nicknames they used to give us. That was the best part of picture day, running back to the classroom to compare who got called what. But no. Not anymore. The name calling has stopped. What a bummer.
