I used to write letters backwards to my friends in high school so they had to read them in a mirror. I’m weird though

Yeah, that hand position looks exactly like an obscured peace sign. Who holds paper like that?
.JPG artifacts will always cluster around areas where there is a steep transition of color/contrast--writing, windows, signs, light sources, etc.
It really sticks out.
That seems like a lot of work to go through for just a quick verification pic. it would be a lot easier to reverse the entire pic than it would be to learn how to write in flawless da Vinci handwriting.

my go to is to have them take a picture of something in the background for me, if they call me crazy or paranoid, well it wasn't worth continuing the dialogue anyways.

I just got back from a project 250 miles away, a day early. I was the only person from my company there, doing everything on my own. While I was driving back, apparently the client called our project manager and left the most glowing rave customer review that PM had ever received about anything at the company ever, and he's worked here 20 years.
So I got that going for me (when it comes time for my annual compensation discussion). Which is nice.

"You haven't generally lived up to the standards set by that review. No raise."
so does that mean Mr.-never-does-anything-but-somehow-never-gets-fired is going to get all the credit?

That is likely "Complete Training" gym in Chattanooga, TN in the background. They are on facebook. The Silver & red trim matches, as does the font for their signs ("Complete Life" above the whiteboard). I scrolled through their pics, but didn't spot that one, so maybe one of their clients? Did she say where she was from?
Putting an offer down on a house. Not epic till they accept and all the financing is complete. But I'm pre-qualified for the amount, so fingers crossed.

Offer accepted. Still not epic because now I have to jump through all the lender hoops. And hope all the inspections don't show anything egregious.
What? He died of natural causes. Do you know what coffins cost?! HE ASKED TO BE THERE I SWEAR
I don't care about that. I might even move him to a chair at the dinner table. I'm talking about those most Texas of problems: termites and bad foundations.
It's on 10 acres of land.

I hear you. When I was househunting, I almost considered buying a 60+ year old house with a hardwood floor that was so uneven it felt like a skate park because the foundations were pillar and beam instead of concrete slab. Didn't end up doing it. My Tile Paradise is on a concrete slab, but the inspector said it looked good, soooo...
All the floors in this house are tile also. I say we start a Halforums club about it
Well we are NOW.
Yay! Checks are in early!

Yay! Raise kicked in.
Boo. They forgot my OT again.
Yay! They had the OT on a separate check!
Boo. It's also dated for Friday.
YAY! The amount was higher than I calculated!
