Karma just got my whiny ass good, I’m working in the photo lab today at the day job (partly because I sell film processing online, you’d be amazed how popular that is and also you’d be amazed how incredibly shitty our equipment is now, for want of a good film extractor tongue I just had to pry a goddamn 35mm cartridge open in the dark with a broken screwdriver and roll it into a 120 developing canister because I couldn’t get the fucking end out– but hey out of the last 100-odd rolls I’ve developed, I have only actually lost half of one due to our machine eating the end of it while it was still in the developer; half of it still came out fine; now I set a timer and every 15 minutes I go stand at the C41 developing machine’s dryer end and scream “JUST PUSH BABY IT’LL BE OKAY” and occasionally have to rip the thing apart and pull out a couple of rolls of film before they get damaged because the replacement parts for this machine were discontinued in the 90s)–
and guess what I just had to print, since it was sitting there on the giant printer waiting patiently for input and the other guy working today is dealing with the actual customers
YES I just had to print The Most Heteronormative Ever Wedding Album and it had a lot of bonus candid selfies the couple had like bundled in of themselves in their real lives and it just so clearly radiates This Is Normal, To Like This Kind Of Thing
I feel like an alien.
