Just a little... rant...

The Kid is in his senior year of high school.

Why are senior fees so incredibly insane?

I got his proofs yesterday for senior pictures.  He hasn't had school pictures done since 6th grade because the high school doesn't "do" school pictures for every grade.  There are at least 1200 kids in his school.  Fine, whatever.  Well.. after paying a $30 sitting fee so they can take his picture in the tux and bowtie that's "regulation" for yearbook photo, cap and gown and I thought he was supposed to get another done in his own clothes... I also paid an additional $10 for a black & white proof.  Well, they didn't take the picture in his own clothes and I didn't get my black and white proof.  To add insult to injury the LEAST EXPENSIVE portrait package is $159.00 for ONE measly pose.  I can't get a disc of the pictures unless I buy one of the more expensive packages that are $400+

This is INSANE!!!  To buy individual pictures is just as insane... two 5x7's is $65 O_o What?

To top this off I've gotta pay $195 in school dues for a bunch of crap he's not going to go to -_-
