Thoughts

I did not want to detract from the monologue about the disposable digital camera that I bought on my last trip, so I moved this portion of the story out to be told separately.
___

Am I the only one that has these conversations with people? Was it something that I did that makes me the participant in such situations? Am I being punished?

I took my disposable digital camera back to a CVS location between work and home to be "developed". I could not even begin to estimate the last time I took film in to a drug store. I felt out of my element for sure. What I can only imagine to be standard procedure dictates that she inquire if I want single or double prints. I desire neither, but just in case, I ask for single. Again, I am a novice in the realm of one hour photo. I did not want to feel the wrath of the photo technician because I said I wanted no prints when offered a choice between single or double.

She then asks if I want the CD with my prints.

This is the part that threw me. Are you serious? Why would I buy a digital camera if I was not interested in the digital pictures? Do people actually do this? Yes, miss. I would like the CD. I was even more perplexed by her question once I picked up my prints...as they were horrible. I had rationalized the situation by making up some story about how CVS has some revolutionary technology that allows their disposable digital cameras to print crystal clear photos. Alas, no dice.
