Waah Waah Waah

As some of you may be aware, I regularly post photos to LJ PhotoPhile, just because I like to get some of my photos out there & see what people think. I won Photo of the Week once & am sort of semi-occasionally featured in the nominees for the competition

A week or so ago, I was nominated again, along with a photo by someone I comment-exchange with both on LJ & on Flickr. We like each other's work & vote for each other... sometimes... when we're not voting for ourselves, I'm sure. Anyway, this other photographer replied to a comment I posted about the week's nominees & started a bit of a flame war by criticising someone else's photos & apparently getting a bit personal on their own LJ. When the reprisals got a bit much, this person said they were withdrawing from the contest & from the group & went off in a huff.. or about a minute & a huff. Needless to say that didn't last long & photos from both of us were nominated again this week for PotW

But... when I came home tonight, I found my photo had been removed from the voting page. No explanation, no notification from the Moderators... There was a comment from someone else noting the absence & I've left a 'Please Explain' comment myself. Yet the photo from the other photographer who'd sparked the arguments last week was still there

In other news... my sense of security in the new job is slowly increasing as I hear & overhear more positive feedback. I'm still kind of worried that this will all be taken away from me because I'm enjoying the job & it pays well, so it must be some kind of mistake or oversight that will be corrected soon & I'll wind up back in retail hell working for some arrogant s%&thead with a god complex & zero economic sense

It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you...
