The Photo that Won’t Die (Revisited)

As I have mentioned once or twice, there is this particularly horrific picture of me that the HFCC PR department took that resurfaces periodically with the apparent intent of causing me embarassment. In this picture’s last adventure I was the “featured student” and the photo was on the front page of the website. Not so bad, I mean, how many people go to the web site, and more importantly, how many people actually read the front page?

This week, they upped the ante. This came in the mail:

Oh the humanity... or was that 'huge manatee'...

I am rather impressed, however, that they find different soundbytes from the lengthy interview process to use for each advertising method. This one reads (for those that can’t see it):

I’m the custodial parent to two children, ages nine and ten. Spending time with my kids is important. Being an HFCC co-op student really works well with my schedule. I’m able to work and take classes while my kids are in school. I can even see improvement in my children’s schoolwork now that I’m around more.

Oh, and this time, I’m a…

Former soldier, US Army; Marketing Entrepeneur; Computer Software Developer; Future teacher; Single parent

in addition to being an HFCC student. I have to say, I’m somewhat more impressed with myself.

But DAMNIT that’s a crappy picture.
