On one hand, I took these photos for people to see pictures of themselves racing and don't mind (and am happy) if someone puts up the photo as their profile or something, especially if they at least say where they got it.
On the other hand...they've modified the photo and turned it into an advertisement. It may be an advertisement for an insiprational team of diabetic athletes but it is still an advertisement and they didn't even bother to leave a photo credit. I suppose I could watermark everything, but this shot cropped out the part of the image where the water mark would have been anyways.
I don't want to shit up their facebook post complaining about not at least getting credit...but I feel like I should at least contact them privately and express my concerns right?

Bought a Danish dresser from Craigslist that had a glossy oil polyurethane finish. It's probably about thirty years old. I planned on refinishing it by chemically stripping the finish coat with steel wool, re-staining in a different color, and then sealing it with a satin polyurethane. I started today and noticed its going to be very difficult to remove the existing varnish with steel wool, because I suspect there are three coats of it on there. That leaves me with hand-sanding or power sanding, but the drawers have a veneer on top of solid wood, which risks sanding through. So I'll probably have to sand it by hand with a much finer grade paper that I'd want, which will take forever, and I'll have to do it outside in the cold over a couple days, bringing it back inside after each day. Otherwise it will get stolen. Once it's sanded, then it will probably need a coat of conditioner, two coats of stain, and then finishing sealer. We're talking a lot of work.

It has become crystal clear that the person responsible for it this year is unwilling to spend even the minimal effort required to do it right. Since the job is so important, and since I know how to do it, I decided (with the approval of the person above me in the hierarchy) to just do it my goddamn self. Even though I have one of the heaviest workloads in my department.

I want to get into management as fast as possible, but I have a hard time relying on people. There is that old adage, "If you want something done right, do it yourself". I just know it is hard to find somebody who cares about what they do like I do. I am kind of scared for the time when I am going to have to find "me" out there.

Another take on this same dream is I go to take a test in a class and have no idea what the material is and cannot answer any of the questions. I had these dreams all last week and last night my dream was that I was filled with apprehension about talking to my professors about my performance and making up materials. Odd.
