I've often made my severe distaste for candid photos known but a little work wide email with a certain photo of yours truly has brought me to loathe them even more. Last Thursday was my work's 75th anniversary party. We had celebrations all day and into the evening at the Field Museum. We started off the day by traveling to our main conference room in order to receive our anniversary gift. We were then encouraged to donate to several charities the company supports.
Cut to right before the moment of this picture. I'm just walking in with wide eyes and wonderment trying to decide which charity I'll give some money. I'm bombarded by adorable little children from "Off the Street Club" that are offering up enthusiastic high fives. At the moment of this picture in REALITY: I've just finished giving that little girl a sweet high five and have a little smile on my face in satisfaction. I plan to donate $25 to this worthy charity so she can continue to give people like me high fives.Now what can be misconstrued from this picture: I'm a total asshole who's afraid of inner city children. As this girl offers a gesture of companionship I return with a "talk to the hand" motion because I just don't care. I'm smirking because I totally just spited that girl AND her stupid charity and I'm about to go donate all my money to the Hamburgler because I totally think he's more deserving.
So I'm really glad that all of work now thinks I'm some kind of idiot jerk that hates kindness and charity.
I think I'll go hide under my complimentary 75th anniversary fleece blanket now.
Too funny!
