Here’s my card…

Despite approaching 6 months of freelance work, would you believe I don’t have a business card? Uh, yeah. Smart. Actually, I did print up some business cards to hand out quickly when I did local interviews but they are pretty damned sad looking so I thought it was high time to look into getting some more professional cards printed up.

Not-so-fun tidbit: Despite working for the majority of my IT career in Fortune 500 companies or subsidiaries, I never was given a business card. I mean, I could understand the fact that I wasn’t client facing but a little card to show off every now and then would have been kind of cool. However, I will note that what was worse was the fact that I worked for two years without a name plate on my cube because my direct manager was too cheap to get me one. Oddly, our intern got a name plate just not me. (Talk about feeling underappreciated. Yeesh.)

Anyway, as I was looking at business card designs, I came across Mommy Cards. Yup, they’re just what you’d think they are: they’re cards that Mommies (or Daddies or Grandparents) can give out to help exchange information while at the playground. I would have scoffed at these before having children but now, I think they’re actually kind of spiffy. I know that when I’m out and about with The Little Empress, sometimes I run into friendly parents. It would be nice to exchange information but constantly scurrying after the kidlet does make it a bit more difficult.

I’m curious to see what other mamas think. Good idea? Bad idea? What’s your take? Leave a comment and/or vote in the poll (I like polls!)
