Batteries for us all

It seems to have been forever since my last post, though im not sure if I have anything yet to post about... im currently sitting in Photography with nothing to do, due to lack of images and batteries for the cameras. As a random side note, curse every camera company that doesn't have a rechargeable battery pack for all of their cameras. Its just good practice. Im sure the landfills have more than their share of AA batteries. Despite the fact that in photography, we use rechargeable AA batteries, still, it seems people have been siphoning them off, and there are no longer enough batteries for all the cameras. Tis sad really...
