Please put out an APB on my missing photo's!!!

I decided to get something constructive done, so i thought i'd load some pics...like my grad pics and then i could maybe edit and post the "seared tuna salad" LOL...

As it turns out, my pics have disappeared..all of them...

WHAT? WHY? HOW? WHO?

Hmmm, yes..

My sister was trying to do something kind and helpful and at the same time, she was making some space on their camera [i had to borrow their camera to take pics at my graduation].

She then proceeded to load the pics onto the pc..but alas! The program she was using to load the pics was only a trial program..i'm not really sure why she used the wrong program..

And then after "loading" the pics..she deleted them from the camera because she thought they were safely saved...

*sniff* * sniff*

They're gone, the program won't allow you to open them until you subscribe again [or something along those lines] OR they actually didnt load and those files will remain empty on that pc..

Sadly i may have lost my pics for good...i'm hoping that there is some way of retrieving them.

This is the pic of the seared tuna salad...mmm the avo!

gra - DUE - 'ay - SHUN

I finished my course just over a year ago..but since their were students in my class that never finished off certain sections/chapters/assignments/projects OR had to redo them, those of us who were patiently awaiting our diplomas... Well, we had to sit back and wait, or work etc...

But since things have changed so much in the past year, the excitement of my upcoming graduation has actually worn off a bit.

What's worse is that i actually can't even work in that industry anymore - well, not entirely, but i can't really stand on my feet all day...refer to chapter one to find out why... Anyway i called to say i am attending the ceremony, but the next step is to actually fetch my tickets [2 lucky ppl get to come see me get diploma'd! ] I also spoke to friend about the ceremony, and my friend said it'd be a nice thing because i'd get to see my friends from college etc.. don't just skip ut altogether...

But the thing that ticked me off and just made me feel really bad is that i mentioned it [graduation] to my uncle a few days ago while he was sitting in my office sipping on his "teatime coffee"...

... and his reaction was, "So late?" so i said yeh and explained the bit about the rest of the group who had to catch up .. then he said "It's such a waste though, i mean it's not like you're even going to use the diploma anymore!"...

me:

i mean to say... Excuse me? Did i hear you correctly? ARE YOU INSANE?
Instead, i politely said, "Well actually it won't be a waste, i mean you do know that i intend to start my own business once i have the finances... it's not like i'm going to work here forever, besides that, i worked really hard to earn that diploma!" [yes, another one of those creatures called perfectionists]

The sheer cheek!

I was apalled.

Anyway, he had no further reply and finished his coffee quietly and then got up left for work again.

I still had a bit of a bleh feelings after that... wondering whether i should actually pick up those tickets... ceremony takes place Friday 20 July 2007 @ 9am...

Oh yeh, just to clarify, we have a ceremony for each level you complete [in SA we have up to level 5 in the industry - so this ceremony is for completion of the level 5 ] The ceremony is just the part where they hand you your piece of paper..however, handing in of final assignment (major assignment) usually qualifies as finishing the course;)
