At Work V - Ermagerd Bidness Kerds!

Happy Friday, y'all! After yesterday's somewhat sad post, I figured I would share something about which I'm unreasonably happy. I've been in the new role for three months but...BOOM:

Note the bottom-right. Mission accomplished.

For whatever reason, I've been putting off getting business cards. It's not a money thing - the company covers them - but more a priority thing. But now that I have a big sleeve of these, I'm pretty thrilled. Not Patrick Bateman thrilled, but y'know, happy nonetheless.

Not only do these help the new job sink in, you'll note that my Twitter account finding its way onto the card. This is a small victory.

A few years back, when I asked about adding my Twitter handle, my boss at the time gave me an emphatic No. Once he was ousted, I brought it up with the new boss, who gave me a less-emphatic-but-undeniably-clear no. When it came time for new cards this time, I repitched it and actually got it. So kids, let that be a lesson: make sure you're persistent and annoying on unimportant crap until someone finally caves because they got sick of hearing about it.
