I got my new ID badge

Thanks, Perfect365!

Pretty!

I scared the crap out of my h this weekend with that app - I sent him one of me with a crazy hairdo while he was out of town, and told him that I got a new hairstyle for my new job. His words, and I quote: "What the fuck??"

The woman who made my badge said, "This doesn't even look like you."

I should be insulted. LOL.

That's a flat out lie, too.  I don't see a huge amount of difference.

To be fair, my previous ID photo was atrocious.

(I think she was saying that was more representative.)

(She also took that photo.)

(I think she was insulted.)

When I worked at the airport, I accidentally took the BEST PICTURE EVER of me. I was so sad to relinquish that badge. The badge for the location I'm at now is just bad.

I was also sad to have to take a new picture for my driver's license when I changed my name. It is HORRIBLE. Fat, gross, yuck. And I was feeling pretty that day, but maybe it was just newlywed ignorance, lol.

LOL!

My dad always makes the most psychotic face possible for his ID badges. They are hilarious.
The lady scolds him every time and he is all "ok" until she's counting down the camera snap, and then whammy.

For comparison.

NOW DO YOU SEE WHY IT WAS NECESSARY TO DO THIS?

Nope.

Hmmm...I'm just now realizing that I get to upload a photo for my new ID. I'm definitely downloading this app now!

I took a week off before starting a job once, and spent the time catching up on chores, including cleaning out an overgrown flower bed.

I ended up with poison ivy all over my face at the start of my new job. It was bad enough that they took my badge photo on my first day.

BUt then they emailed the entire company the picture of my red, swollen, bumpy face in a "Meet our new staff person" message.

That was 10 years ago, and I still cringe when I think of it.

This is the photo that is linked to our internal directory, too.

I feel good about my decision.

My h does this in pictures that could be cute of the two of us, lol.  I'm not entirely sure that it's intentional, haha.  Some examples:

My photo ID for my bank card is from when I was 16. I look a gajillion times better and 15 years younger (likely because I am, in fact, 15 years younger in the photo). Last time I went to the bank they told me I needed a new photo because, "this looks nothing like you". Sad trombone.

My ID badge photo is from 2003. I'm never changing it.

Mine is too!  I broke it once and the security guy asked me if I wanted to do a new photo, I told him hell no!  I've had to replace the badge a few times since then, and won't redo the photo.

Lol! I totally do this too. I call it my cheesy smile. Like when I'm trying REALLY hard to force a smile but it ends up looking like I'm just baring my teeth.

Kev calls it the turtle. He pulls his chin allllll the way back into his neck.

Wait. You can submit your own photo? I need to figure out how to do this.

Seriously, I'm fucking ORANGE and square headed in mine!

LOL! I didn't know you were serious! We can't choose our picture. WAHHHHHHH. So Sad!

[underwaterrhymes]

My DL photo right now is one of the best photos ever taken of me in my life.

I'm so glad I don't have to get a new license with my new address - I can just change the address online - because I want to hold onto this for as long as possible.

When I say I'm going to do something, I really do it.
