After unpacking the four boxes of things I had decided to keep from my old office, and rearranging my cubicle for the fifth time, I was running out of things to do. Each cubicle has a plastic sleeve attached to the outside of it that has your cubicle number printed on the outside of it. I decided I would print a small sheet of paper to slide into this sleeve that would proudly display my name, phone number, and email address. This is nothing novel; that's what the sleeves are for.
I'd like to say that I am an expert when it comes to design, but the truth is, I'm really not. I just used a big font for my name, because I'm egotistical that way, and a smaller font for my phone number and email address and arranged it so my name was on top of the other two. Nothing extraordinary. Well… nothing extraordinary for a brain with the capacity of mine.
I decided I should make one for the two employees I have in this building as well. So I did. I also made a bigger name plate to go in the bigger name plate sleeve in the aisle that informs passers-by exactly who it is that sits in the seats down that aisle. Again, nothing extraordinary.
I have been at work for, at most, one hour since that time. I have been asked three times, but three different people if I could make a name plate like that for them. Additionally, the secretary for our department asked me if I still had the template (template? what template? I just drew it up real quick in the Gimp) for it so that she could make them for our whole group.
Huh? It's just a stupid name plate.
