And then, as you point out, dealing with the mess of them afterwards. That being said, there is something to be said about a nicely designed card such as yours. They do say a lot about a person. I once wrote a post about you could tell all about someone based on their business card...lol z when you say “i have a love/hate relationship”…I completely understand.

Actually, I <em>did</em> think of doing that, but only after I had uploaded the files and placed the order. That will have to be for the next business card design. The nice thing about this card design is that it is very portable and reusable. I did a slideshow presentation last week, and I made the slideshow template to match my card, and I am really happy with it: http://www.slideshare.net/denisejacobs/how-to-get-your-website-into-the-21st-century. I bet your next position is going to kick-ass: be really interesting and allow you to learn and grow, and be fantastically compensated for it as well. Thanks Sammy!

One small thing.. I don't know if you planned it or not, but it would look cool if the design of the back were inversed, almost like the backside of something that was stitched. That way the back and the front have the logo, text and blue stripe on the same side. “Working my j-o-b and doing mind-numbing tasks for almost two years”. Still doing some mind numbing work, but at least I'm now getting paid more to do it! lol. Nice card! One small thing..

Some of that stuff was so wrong to do. I am not a PM, deep in my heart. Luckily, I don't have to do that kind of work anymore. On to bigger's and better's! I’m glad you hear me, Todd.

But, as a lost consumer, in need of consulting or direction I think that phrase applies to what you can do for *me*...not about what you are trying to do for yourself...maybe if it evolved into: "Denise Jacobs...Come Into Focus"...just thinking outloud...feel free to ignore me lol True…as a friend I understand that.
