You get your very own Business Cards! A box load of business cards with my name just arrived in the office, I dont actually have anyone to give them to as I am just the Team Leader, not the Consultant, but what the heck, kinda makes me feel important! Maybe I'll give them to all (2) of my friends for Xmas?!

I guess you could always waste company time by spending half a day writing your name on them! I just cant quite believe how many I have!!

"Made it"?

I have steadfastedly refused business cards the last four or eleven times I was told I needed some. Although they're useful when you leave colleagues ones at various seedy dives around the globe, or for writing shopping lists on, they're by and large a waste of cardboard and ink.

But I do like Jay Randomness's idea of bogus job title, highlighting the silly one-upmanship of them. I favour "Computer Psychoanalyst". Although the last time I used that job title, the Customs man at Chch Intergalactic airport was not the least bit amused. (It would've helped if the stupidfeckers I worked for had actually told me what my job title was...)

I ran out of cards a month before getting married. My manager was paranoid and didn't want to order new cards with my married name "just in case". I wound up with 500 cards with the wrong name, which only had to replaced when I got married.

That's alright though. My phone message had my maiden name on it for two years after I was married and it was always fun confusing clients.

I'd watch that wrtieing if I were you - too much of that, and you'll go blind, and develop carpal tunnel syndrome.

bussieness cards are not a waste of time, for clients. i often use them, to ring them when i need them?

FORTUNATELY they have not put my cell phone number on it, which I thought that they may as they have given me a work phone....
