Photobomb

Post by perrinoia »

Every year, during the newport boat show, my boss lines up all of the boats and gets all of the employees to pose for a photoshoot.

This year i was too busy to pose, but not too busy to photobomb!

Most employees park in town and walk to work. I live on a boat, commute on another boat, and work on yet another boat.

We have to wear the button up shirt and tie 2 days a year for the company photoshoot and to promote our sponsor (Vineyard Vines).

Those 2 days are during the Newport Boat Show, which is hosted by our landlord, Newport Yachting Center. The boat show occupies and expands the whole marina and the neighboring marinas, too. Thus our regular drop off and pickup spot is relocated from deep within the marina to the temporary docks that extend out into the channel.

Since I commute by boat, this means my walk from the boat to the time clock is extended from around 100 yards to nearly a thousand yards.

I don't like wearing ties because they remind me of the time my classmates attempted to rape me in an all boys private school, so I was carrying it along with other things as I walked to the time clock, and couldn't find it upon arrival.

I must have dropped it somewhere in the boat show. When I got to the office and discovered that I wasn't carrying it anymore, I asked if they had any more but was told they cost $85 each and all the freebies had been distributed.

I'm not about to pay $85 to be choked into submission again, so i just said, "fuck that" and started working. That's half the reason I wasn't included in the photoshoot.

Every year, they do this photoshoot. It takes at least half an hour to get all of the boats to quit what they're doing and raft up. Then they spend another 20-30 minutes trying to get all of the employees to fix their collars, tuck in their shirts, and look at the camera simultaneously.

The photo always looks great, until you focus on the background and notice a hundred scowling customers impatiently waiting for a ride.

I had mentioned the annoyed customers to my boss the day before, and I assume this was the other half of the reason I wasn't included in the photoshoot this year.

While he was calling each boat to coordinate where they'd be in the photo, he called me and said there were a bunch of angry customers waiting for me. I scooped up the customers, and as I was departing the dock, the owner of the company shouted at me to photobomb, so I did.

So, for the first time in history, we have a photo with smiling customers that would be perfect, if only Sam were looking at the camera.
