All 125 pages! Ugh

Explain the signing requirements..NBS has 3 pages to sign..He keeps leaving room..wife calls him in come back here "Daddy"..what? Huh..thats what she kept referring him to..these people not very old..it was creepy! Anyhoo Mr. did not want to use his initials..What? Get out fresh copy..So he adds his middle initial and changes his signature!! Ugh..His initials spell out MAM..No wonder why he nver wants to use it!

Don't feel too bad... At least YOU weren't the dumb one, right? I was...

I had a request for a photo of a house in Llano, which is about 35 miles away from me. No problem at all... jobs pays great... I had another appointment on, even better!

I get there, pull out my camera, and try a first shot... "Can't Record" it tells me.

Oh, crud... I left the SD card in my laptop's card reader....

Except that I just happened to leave my laptop at home for that run because I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't want to pack it up.

AH!!!! But I always carry a spare SD card in my wallet! No problem... I go back to the car, and I can't find my wallet!! Oh, no... so I call my husband and he says, "Yup, you're wallet is sitting right on top of your laptop."

So I cautiously drive on back home...taking all of the more obscure desert roads hoping I wouldn't get stopped, or see anybody at all.

And wouldn't you know it? As I'm driving along, I see FIVE CHP cars blocking the road ahead of me. I panic... I don't have my wallet. I have my notary seal, though! They made me stop, but as it turns out, it was only to wait, because they'd closed the road for a few minutes while they did a shot for a car commercial. *whew*

Made it back home, and had to turn right back around, with the SD card and wallet this time, to get those blasted photos. I definitely took a loss on that assignment after 140 miles of driving.

And that's one of the reasons I took today off!


BTW... before I got married, my initials spelled "MEN" and now? "MEH" --- *sigh*

Marian, doesn't your camera also give you the option of saving to its internal memory instead of SD card?

Nope... this one is strictly media card memory only

... I'd considered just taking the photos with my cell phone... but they would have been crappy photos.
