Very Professional


Mark's sister's birthday is the day before mine. For her birthday present, he wanted to print this picture he took last spring of her daughter playing soccer. So he ordered it to be printed at the Walmart near her house. I had visited him at work for lunch that day and as we were eating, his phone rang. It was the Walmart photo center calling. Here's the conversation:

Walmart: Hi. This is Walmart calling about the picture you ordered to be printed. Did you take this picture?

Mark: Yes.

Walmart: How did you make it look like this?

Mark: Well, there's this program called Picassa, it's free to use through Google, and you can make simple edits on your pictures, etc. etc. etc. as he goes on to explain the whole process.

Walmart (interrupting his lengthly explanation): Okay, that's all I need to know. We just wanted to make sure you really took it. It looks very professional.

What a compliment! I had to take this opportunity to brag about his great photograhy skills to you all :)
