Or we could have been having to much fun to notice them. :grin: I was always surprised by how empty it was. It's not like the food is bad.
I can understand that. We probably took a lot longer to get over there than was originally planned. (I only say that because everything took longer than originally planned. :snort: )
It's cool. I did wonder if that was what the issue was. I didn't think it looked too bad, but I know it was bugging you. What did they finally tell you? I couldn't see any changes when I went to your post. (Sorry for not commenting - it was a hit and run visit.)
Wait 'til you see my photo #2 with Joe and David. I think the guy almost let it go through, judging by how long it took him to say we needed another retake.

Yes. Yes you did. But it was okay (for us. Not for them apparently. They kept giving us dirty looks. It was...fun)

Oh they never did say what the 'issue' with the David DeLuise picture was. I was referring to their mishandling of my complaint on the SG-1 Duo photo. I wasn't happy that my eyes were half closed (thus making me look stoned) and so they said "We'll just have the photographer reshoot you and photoshop your eyes in. Please wait." So *I* figured they'd just grab me at the end of the JR Bourne line and do it then. No. I sat there for an HOUR AND A HALF (patiently. and quietly. And you know totally polite) and at that time Jen and crew came downstairs. I said I'd see how long it was going to be (because dinner plans were slightly more firm) and I walked into the photo room (that was now completely torn apart EXCEPT the printers) and they were all "CAN WE HELP YOU?!" and I was all "Uh...I'm the one who needs the photo fixed..." "WELL WE CAN'T DO IT RIGHT NOW! We're VERY BUSY printing photos." "I understand that...but uh..my friends and I were talking about going to dinner. And I know if I leave I won't want to come back" "Well its going to be AT LEAST 30 to 45 minutes. Come back then." (It was at roughly that moment my head exploded, I walked out and just walked away. Because I knew I'd yell. I mean it would have taken roughly... 2.4 seconds to take the photo but I had to wait another half hour + on TOP of the hour and a half I'd already waited? I don't think so.)
I did mean the issue with the duo photo. I can't believe they jacked you around like that. Although, now I think about it - why wouldn't they? They got what they wanted, which was your money. Assholes. The guy had to retake mine three times due to glare on my glasses. Wouldn't it have been quicker to just tell me to tilt my head up or down? (And wait 'til you see the second photo. He took a really long time to decide that it needed redoing, and it should have been clear in the first nanosecond.)
