Thanks! I'm actually ordering two batches--one to give to clients with my personal contact info, and the second to give to networking/job search/interview types that has an additional phrase printed on it that hits on my areas of expertise (Strategic-Thinking Professional with Policy, Consulting, Sales, and Operations Expertise). I think I'll spring for the heavier stock on the search cards, and keep the normal on the personal ones.
I don't like the look of glossy cards, and I hate when I can't write on cards, so that's definitely not an option.
Dear Support Personnel,
I'm sure I'm annoying you with what you probably consider my obvious and trivial questions. I don't care. I will keep emailing you whenever I have the slightest uncertainty about what to do, because our software is like unto a pile of dogshit in both its usefulness and the lack of desire I have to deal with it, and I know from sad experience that if I, in the course of doing what seems logical to fix the problem, confuse it at all, it will crash and I will be unable to work for at least four hours. I will then have to explain the resulting delay to my boss, keeping in mind that "problems with the software is never an acceptable excuse for delay". Thus my youthful joy in experimenting to figure things out for myself has crumbled into exhausted cynicism and a focus on getting you to do this crap for me.
Cheers,
Me.
I buy stock blank cards and use the Avery templates to create my own. No artistic talent, but I can customize those template. Can futz with it until it is what I like. Not sure cheaper than services, but very cheap and I like results.
Oh, Zen, I'm so sorry. I hate when software is touchy.
Typo, I've used those in the past, and I can never get it to look the way I want. The savings in time and effort is worth spending a little extra money, for me.
So, am I forgetting anything? Full name, address, cell, LinkedIn profile address, and professional twitter handle.
Do you not want a direct email address?
Oh, yeah. It's on there. I neglected to type it out here.
t is dumb
I love you all. Just thought you should know.
University cancelled classes after 3 pm today and will announce their decision for tomorrow at 5 pm.
Be careful going home sumi.
Late to the party, but {{{DJ}}}, I'm very sorry to hear about your friend's loss. And {{{amyth}}}, dear, much thoughts and love and comfort to you as well. Attentional ~ma to the drama/BS/craxylife/health/Shiva casualties.
I'm driving myself nuts, me, and I got no one else to blame (well, I do, but it's reality that's to be blamed). The thing is that the most hurtful part of handling Hollaback Israel, as I found out, is to try and explain to some liberal-leftist men, who knew me by far only by my liberal-leftist opinions, and who are friends of mine/their opinion on me matter to me, what life in my city looks like if you're a secular young woman. And while I do talk of "it" more, I've found myself two days ago mumbling to someone over the phone that invited me to something in East Jerusalem that it's not the wisest thing to recommend to a young Israeli woman to come on her own to East Jerusalem. And he didn't get it. And I sounded racist, hesitated and as if I was only fed by rumors about "them", even though I tried to made him sure that I've tested the issue in the past, and that it's not that wise.
I'm not sure where the problem lays, exactly, other that I cherish some people's opinions on me. Maybe it's because I'm not sure I'll be able to say everything I have to say on this topic to them to their face without being Very Emotional. A lot of people think that because I'm strong I have some kind of shield that protects from this, or that "liberal-leftist" is tattooed on my forehead and people probably leave me alone. They don't. This city is bad for young women and a lot of every-age-women. All of the tensions are unloaded on them, on us. And if I'll say anything, I take a huge risk with sounding racist, insane or an emotional creature in front of people that in some cases I worked long and hard to convince them I'm intelligent and worthy. So I'm practicing on the conversations in my mind, but I can't seem to stay calm even then, with imagining only the first sentences and considering what to say to them that will make me sound sane and rational.
