Passport photos

[susanreads]

Today I got photos for renewing my passport. The requirements are much pickier than they used to be - I couldn't have done it without the help of the Post Office employee. ♥Post Office♥

With my glasses off I look about ten years older, and also as if I hadn't slept for a week. I know I haven't been getting enough sleep but this is ridiculous. *Waaaaah*

Also my hair is a haystack. I washed it on Saturday! I know it's a haystack the day after washing it but it should be under control by now! /cry moar

ETA: fixing typos apparently introduces more typos dammit

Passport photos are so terrible. I look like a very well paid thug in mine.

I want to say "What? No, you could never look like a thug!" but having seen how haggard mine look, I know anything is possible.

I look like a convict in mine. In fact all my photos on various cards make me look like a convict :)

Oh dear. Do they at least all look like each other?

It's gone off! The guy doing Check&Send at the Post Office says it looks OK, but now it's in the hands of the Passport Office or whatever they're called now, which moves in mysterious ways.

Do you have the passport back now?

[susanreads]

Yes I do! The new one arrived two days before the cancelled old one ("supporting documentation"), and possibly while I was actually at the Jobcentre telling my advisor that I hadn't heard back yet. But the couriers now have a phone or something that they take a photo of your front door with to prove they delivered it, so they don't need a signature, so I didn't have to go and pick it up from the depot.
