Adventures in Stock Photos.

It's possible that this is going to be the beginning of a series of posts. 

I have spent a lot of time over the last few years looking for stock images. 

I don't know if you guys have ever looked at stock photo sites, but they can be pretty entertaining. 

Most of the time, you get what you ask for. 

Sometimes, however, you get what you don't ask for. You get what no one has ever asked for. 

And sometimes, you are just super entertained. 

So, for a little while, I've been collecting some of my favorites.

I thought I'd share them with you. 

the search criteria for most of these was business. 

 This was a fun one to find. I asked for business, and this popped up. I looked at it and said "he is an attractive business man." Thank goodness that is the actual description of this photo. 

Of course I'm going to add a clock photo. I just love how incredibly terrified this 17 year old young man looks upon realizing that it is 7:34. GASP!

 This makes perfect sense to me. Why would you not want to sleep on the hard cement floor of an empty workspace? It's perfect for your back. 

This is how I walk in to my place of work every morning. With ballet. Because that makes sense for non-ballerinas. 

 In case you were wondering about what a disected rose looks like, here's your chance. Ta-daaaa!

 I also build the Death Star while at work. out of rounded Jenga blocks (I'm so good at that game!)

 Harry Potter. Enough said. 

 The description for this photo was "a man in a white suit." I would like to amend that to "a bum in a white suit"

 Alright. The next two were my favorites. I could not decide which one was the best. I couldn't decide. These are the best things I've ever seen. However, you must understand how much love I have for these two. 

First, this one was captioned "business man and business woman-handshake." Really? I believe that the most important aspect of this picture was left out. The fact that the "business woman" IS A GHOST!!!!!!!!!! She's not there. She's mist. She's vapor. She's dead. Wow. 

 And last, but absolutely NOT least is the following. Because, of course, when you think of businesses, you think of DOGS IN BOWLER HATS. What else would you think of? Absolutely nothing. This is the epitome of business. Obviously. 

Inappropriate for the workplace

At work, since I'm a graphic designer and spend most of my day looking at a computer screen, I generally like to have something to listen to while I'm working. 

Since there are two other people in my office, we all have headphones in. 

Most of the time I'm listening to music. 

Sometimes I listen to scriptures. 

Today, I listened to Harry Potter. Number 7. It's my favorite one. 

Apparently, I was also very emotional today. 

When Harry walks around Number 4 Privet Drive reminiscing about his childhood, I was choked up. 

When Dudly tells Harry that he doesn't think he's a waste of space, I was close to tears.

By the time they talk about George's ear, I was fighting them back. 

Luckily, no one in my office noticed this sad display of true love for J.K. Rowling. 

I think that would have been difficult to explain. 

What the blogger.

Here's the deal. I'm all for making websites look good. Innovation is absolutely fantastic.
You know what I'm not all for? FORCING CHANGE ON PEOPLE!
Let's just remove agency from people. Thanks, social media. I appreciate it. I'm glad that blogger took away what I was used to. Facebook's gearing up to make my life a living timeline.
I just wish that they would at least give me some warning.
Or give me a website I can navigate, at least.
Yeesh.

These are my thoughts

1. I don't like caraway seeds. It's not that I truly hate the taste (although it's not my favorite), it's because "Caraway" inevitably (yes, Alison, I did just wiggle my toes) reminds me of the Carrows. You know, the evil sibling duo from Harry Potter, of whom I'm certain that, had there been more character development, I would have hated as much as Doloris Umbridge. And I really hate Umbridge.

2. I received a HAND WRITTEN thank you note today. From who am I receiving notes that have me so excited? Why from my very favorite company of all time. The wonderful world of Poppin. They just wanted to thank me for my order. I think my affection has moved from a crush to down right obsession. It's a good thing I'm not currently in New York, or I would be the first ever company stalker. I love Poppin. There. I said it.

3. I want my hair to grow faster.

4. I'm officially spending my Memorial Day weekend in Utah. Or, I will be when I book the ticket. But I for sure have the days off. Woot.

5. I'm planning on moving into an apartment above a shop on Main Street in BA. You guys have no idea how excited this makes me. I just need to go talk to some people. And find out how much it costs. And do it to it, Lars.

6. How amazing was Elder Holland's talk on Saturday? Am I right, am I right?

7. If you ever have the opportunity to watch general conference, play laser tag, play fugitive in downtown Tulsa, and hang out with your sister all in one weekend, JUMP ON IT.
