I get really tetchy when someone suspects the worst in me rather than trusting in the best. I hope they find that camera so that they don’t keep blaming you!

Oh, and I hope you’re feeling better now!

Desert Songbird’s last blog post..Eh

I would have got offended too! And what dills giving cameras out to people whose names they didn’t get. I think she’s annoyed at herself for this and just taking it out on you.

Don’t bother yourself thinking about it anymore. You didn’t take it and you know that and I’m sure they do too.

Soothe yourself with a cup of tea and a biscuit. it always works for me. And if you still feel bad, break out the wine!

I hate it when I get the guilty before proven innocent treatment. I have a huge doubt the camera will turn up again.

BTW, I am also using an Exilim. Not bad for point and shoot but I want an SLR soon! (badly)

Sheesh! I would have been a bit offended too! And I agree…folks would likely notice by now.

Glad you are on the road to recovery. I figure at least one of my girls may not like the beach either!

Wow, and there’s really no way to adequately defend yourself on that one. It’s really their fault, no matter who took the camera, if they were handing them out without even taking names. I’d be ticked off too.

Deb - Mom of 3 Girls’s last blog post..Rematch!

I’m with ya on that….
I would have been pissed if she acted like I was the one who took it!!! It’s their fault for not getting the names of the people using them! Yes, you are very RIGHT…they should have checked them OUT and back IN!!! DUH!!!!!!

Usually volunteers aren’t the sleazy sort. I would be offended too, but recognize they would have to chec k up on everyone. Not well planned. Guess they learned something.

yeah, i’m sure that if someone had taken it home on accident they’d notice by now. that’s too bad that it’s missing but yeah, you’re right, they should have had a check out process or something to account for them.

yoshi’s last blog post..Dyscalculia

I agree that they should have gotten the names of the people taking the cameras and numbered them so they knew which camera each person was using…a little more organization goes a long way that way you wouldn’t need to be accused for something you didn’t do! (I would be upset as well!)

amy’s last blog post..What does a soggy carpet and hornets have in common?

I would feel the same way. It’s like they think you’re a thief and it makes you feel bad. I agree that they should have numbered them or something. Giving the person the benefit of the doubt I hope they accidently took it home, but if not I really don’t understand how people can take things that don’t belong to them. It’s a sad world we live in a lot of times.

Andrea’s last blog post..Feeling the burn…

weird…when I was in school you had to check out all the equipment…everything had a security tag with an ID number on it. you had to fill out enough paperwork to get a high security clearance at the White House…what gives with this place???

And I find it awefully RUDE of that person to still be accusing of you after you reminded her of running out the battery when you returned the camera…and if they HAD at least thought to find out who check out the cameras…they could figure out who hadn’t returned the camera by which kid’s photos were missing.

some people.

Renee’s last blog post..The Birthday!

You’re right…when they look at the pictures, they’ll know that you returned your camera. She was probably just wishing and hoping that you would be like, “Oh yeah! That’s still in my purse! I’ve been meaning to return it!” and when you didn’t, her disappointment sounded accusing. Don’t let it bother you any more. You did what was right, and that’s whats important.

Oh that sucks. I hate when things go missing like that! We have had things like that happen to us in the past & it really sucks. I have discovered that you area always guilty until proven innocent. When you are innocent, it is very hard to prove it, trust me! Much easier to prove guilt.

I hope eveything turns out for the better. My mom had lost her camera a few months back at an event her work was having. The camera was found a few weeks ago.(Strange things happen)

I hate dealing with stuff like this. It always makes you feel kind of mean and awkward especially when it comes on the heels of doing something good or nice like volunteering.

I can’t believe they just handed out the cameras without taking names and addresses etc, it’s their fault they are missing one. Don’t stress.

Don’t feel bad Kailani. I’m amazed at how dishonest people can be. Yes, whoever has the camera know they have it and whoever handed them out probably knows who had them. You are honest and the bottom line is…the people who matter in your life know that. Not to long ago I went to Wal-Mart and bought a lot of sewing notions and fabric. When I arrived home to show NY, I was missing close to $40 in buttons, thread etc. After speaking with the manager on the phone (who would do nothing until she watched the security tape of me at the cash register) it was discovered the cashier had put one of my bags to the side and the lady behind me took it. She only had two items so she KNEW she had my bag. She was even parked by me and was watching me in my car and smiling. So much so I wondered if there was food stuck in my teeth or something. I received a refund but that didn’t totally help as I had bought the last of some items. The store told us the lady could return everything WITHOUT a receipt. Bummer!
But…
It all works out in the very end and you Kailani know you turned your camera in.

You would have thought they would have assigned cameras to everybody. I have a cybershot and love it for quick and easy point and shoot pictures. I like my zoom too. Did using it help you decide??

Mel’s last blog post..Is it Friday yet?

that’s too bad they lost the camera but they should have done a better job at keeping track of all of them. my question is… how did you like the camera?

diana/sunshine’s last blog post..more on blogging

sounds like a case of “should have thought of that before you handed out the cameras”. I mean you would hope people would be honest, but it just seems like common sense to at least make a list of who had a camera when you’re giving out that kind of fancy equipment!

Krista’s last blog post..The Nightmare Day

Right…someone took it home by accident….unfortunately it’s their own fault for not having people sign them out beforehand. Too bad it makes innocent people like you become the target of accusations.

matt’s last blog post..Defining a Feral Cat

When I first read this post, I thought it is a good thing you are planning to move to a better school district. Clearly there are problems in that school. I cannot believe they would imply you stole the camera when you pointed out a conversation you had with the lady as you returned. I told my husband about it and he asked how they can keep up with children when they cannot keep up with 4 cameras.

I wonder if they every figured it out. At my school, you’re supposed to check out the equipment, so really, what do they expect? But hey, you got your new camera - and it wasn’t theirs! I’d be offended, too.
