The more senior person offers you one, you accept it with two hands, look it over and if you can think of one make a comment, then give him/her yours.

I agree with you and with Mel: they're very convenient, especially for contact information or, when taking someone's card, for writing down what you promised you'd do (contact? send your paper?) when you talked with the person.undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589384016564587214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-1168062779150517592007-01-05T21:52:00.000-08:002007-01-05T21:52:00.000-08:00My U pays for them, and I carry them with me to co...My U pays for them, and I carry them with me to conferences -- they come in handy when you're talking with someone you've only just met and you say let's email about this, etc. Sometimes the other person has run out or whatever, but at least then you know they have all your info.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18101745666402341618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-1168049962437580732007-01-05T18:19:00.000-08:002007-01-05T18:19:00.000-08:00All the places I've worked had cards, but you had ...All the places I've worked had cards, but you had to pay for them. This is why I have never had them, I don't want to pay for them. At one point I had my own made, but I was d***ed if I was going to use the university logo on something I had to pay for myself!<BR/><BR/>I think they are excellent and convenient. People always ask me for them. When I get a little more flush, I may finally give up and buy the university cards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-1168049423747136202007-01-05T18:10:00.000-08:002007-01-05T18:10:00.000-08:00It sounds as though complexification studies is mo...It sounds as though complexification studies is more sensible about cards than the humanities, or maybe I've just run across more than my share of shy card-givers. <BR/><BR/>That's a good idea about sending the card when you send a rec letter.undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589384016564587214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-1168044180610934552007-01-05T16:43:00.000-08:002007-01-05T16:43:00.000-08:00Interesting.

And people will ask for your card, too.<BR/><BR/>I also tend to enclose a card when I send a rec letter.~profgrrrrl~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15280731948424317624noreply@blogger.com
