For those of you have been regular readers since I started my first attorney job, you might be aware of my issue regarding business cards. We don't have any in-person client contact here, so it's not that desperate a situation, but still everyone else in the office has them, so I thought it be nice that I was given the same courtesy. I started my job last December, so enough time has gone by that I have gotten good and angry over this slight. Each month I'd ask, and each month I would be told it was being looked into. And another month would go by and the cycle would repeat. I got sworn in back in May, and thought perhaps that would trigger me getting them, since I was no longer pending admission. And no, that didn't work. Finally, two weeks ago I put my foot down. I have a couple events coming up, and I really hate having to explain why I don't have a card. It's bad enough I can't explain what I do, let alone where I work. So I set a deadline. Either get me cards by the end of the month, or I order them myself. And Friday, after lunch...what did I come back to find on my desk? You betcha. Cards. 4 hours before my set deadline. So, perhaps I'm not a temp after all? Who knew! Labels: job
