I went to the Secretary of State. I got ANOTHER fugly picture. Fugly is f***ing ugly in case you are not familiar with this term (I'm sorry, I am not articulate enough to come up with a term that fits as well as "fugly"). My new picture is FUGLY. I dressed nice, wore make up, and did my hair today (okay, I stopped back home and cleaned myself up a bit, over sleeping and going to work with wet hair wasn't going to lead to a good photo, so I went back home briefly to pull myself together). All of this and my picture still sucked. I told the Picture Lady to let me know if I had my head tilted in a way that mutiplied my chin into many chins. She gave no feedback. Bitch. I bet her friends there worked with her on a good photo. But could Evil Picture Lady show a little mercy on me? No.
I see the preview of the photo and my hair looking like it was stabbing my in the neck -- a few chunks of hair looked seriously WRONG. Evil Picture Lady didn't advise me of this. You KNOW she saw it. I asked for a retake and pointed out the offending hair. Evil Picture Lady says she could do ONE more. I thought I fixed the offending strands. She saw me attempt it. Evil Picture Lady knew the issue. Did she try to save me by telling me the 2nd picture would suck? NOPE. Evil Picture Lady took a second shitty picture with the SAME problem!! My hair is all normal and decent looking except for a couple of chunks / strands that are sitting really strange against my neck.
I have to wait a few weeks for the ugly ass picture now. Then I will have to "lose" my license again and start the whole ugly picture process again. Damn that Evil Picture Lady. You are merciless Evil Picture Lady! Someday someone will make YOU pay for your lack of mercy!!
I am fine with you calling me vain. I am a little vain. I just want a driver's license picture that doesn't make me feel humiliated when I.D. is required. Can't the Evil Picture Lady ever try to help me? There was a really nice Picture Lady at one of the offices (in a horrible neighborhood) who actually worked with me once. Nice Picture Lady worked with me on the head / chin positioning issue AND made me laugh so I'd have a good smile. I loved that picture and was devastated when it expired last year.
Oh to have a decent picture! One that does not bring shame. Not only do I have an ugly ass picture, I have to wait at least 3 weeks to get it before I can go back and try again (for another $12, thank you very much!).
On a brighter note, I went to the bank. I got a new ATM and switched my checking to an account with fewer fees. YIPPEE! Fewer fees! Actually walking into the bank (vs. doing it all online) was a good thing. Nice Bank Lady is sending me a new ATM card, I get to keep my account number but have a different type of account, my checks are free now, and fees are now waived.
Apparently it helps to owe a lot of money on your home equity line of credit. I guess they figure the interest they are making means they should be nice to me. Thank you Nice Bank Lady! Maybe you could go teach Evil Picture Lady something about customer service?
The picture is our favorite beach Up North. I hope to take the kids this weekend...

I think all the Evil Picture Ladies must have contests to see who can take the worst picture of an innocent DMV customer that day. Mine always look pale, tired and cross-eyed. Though, maybe that's what waiting in a two hour line will do to a person's look.
At least, you had Nice Bank Lady. Fewer fees are always a good thing.

thanks for stopping by my site. my family is cool!
As for license pics- i am one of those people everyone hates: I take good pictures. Every one of my IDs (for anything actually) has turned out surprisingly good. I am not sure how it works out that way, but it does. ;) My mom, on the otherhand, takes the WORST pics i have ever seen. And not just on IDs. Just in general. :)
