Just got my new business cards...

[coreyfyfe]

Complete with my boss' email address instead of mine.

The admin gave me the box this morning and I hesitated to look at them because I knew, that after waiting for 6 weeks, there was bound to be something wrong with them. 4pm rolls around and decide, ok, why not?

There it is. My name, title, phone cell and fax numbers, complete with my boss Joyce's email address.

As with everything else in my life, the last few months have been a series of minor inconveniences. I guess I should be happy that they've been minor, but I thought this was funny enough to share.

The biggest benefit I get from the 5000 pack of business cards my work gave me is thousands of chances to win some lunches.

I drop 3 or 4 in the little fishbowl every time I visit the burrito place up the street.

Yeah honestly I can only think of a few instances where I would really be handing them out. I've been interviewing interns this week, so it would have been nice to be able to give them something when they left with the correct contact information, but whatever. Other than that, I think I'd prefer people didn't bother me at work. They'd be interupting all the time I get to spend on TB.

When I was getting my business cards printed, I asked my boss if I could have "Director Of Awesome" as my job description.

Actually, some people really appreciate that you add something manual to the card. Don't fear to do so. Carry the pen to do it in front of them, it can kickstart the conversation, or cut one you don't want to hear

I think that the greatest thing is that little kid by his mom as she's perusing the phalli.

Of course, that's the original fail.

+1. Yeah, send me a business card and I'll shoot you an email.

I recently got some new cards, and there was a field where you could put a couple lines of text on the back, so...

See this is the problem with people today - they always focus on the negative. Why not focus on the potential positives of this little mishap.

For instance, when handing them out if someone looks at the email addy and asks "Joyce?" you can simply look at them and deadpan, "Yeah, I'm also a drag queen for hire on the weekends."

It will make boring business lunches much more interesting.

I hear Paul Allen has the perfect business card.
