Saying Goodbye Can Be Hard to Do

It’s been a while since I’ve written. I haven’t really gotten too many business cards as of late, so I apologize.

It’s inevitable that people change their job status, whether they leave a company or get promoted. Through my business card collecting, I’ve seen many instances of companies being too cheap to produce more business cards and have had people cross off names or positions. I’ve also seen where people wrote their own information on the back of business cards.

This is clever since they used Wite Out to cover it up. Not old-fashioned Wite Out, but an updated version that gives you a straight rectangle and won’t clump up. Up close, it looks really cheaply done and it can easily be scratched off to reveal her name again.

In spite of the efforts to cover her up, this is still Marite Acosta’s business card in my book. At least until Louise Altese gets cards made up for herself.
