I don’t know how many times I have been to a convention and I heard someone ask Eric, “Where’s your name tag” and he would respond “I misplaced it,” or “I can’t find it,” or “I didn’t get one.” And then I would say “Eric, where’s your nametag”? And he would simply shrug his shoulders.
Well, I have an answer to everyone who has questioned him and to all the convention coordinators who have worked hard in creating his own special lanyard. But first, I need to wholeheartedly apologize now to my husband… I’m sorry Eric. But, I feel compelled to expose your lanyard collection. Especially since many of these convention coordinators look at me, the wife, like I’m the one responsible that you’re not wearing the proper credentials around your neck!
The other day, I was walking through his office and low-and-behold, I stumbled upon a nice collection of name tags from conventions all around the country!
So what was my reaction? To immediately grab them off the hook and spread them out to take a picture of course! And share them here. So at Mr. Basketmaker’s next convention, if he is not wearing his lanyard with name tag, please reprimand him! (Except, I need to agree with him about one of the workshops where all the name tags had pink flowers on them! He said he didn’t get it and I had to go along with it. There’s no way I want my husband walking around with pink flowers around his neck! LOL.)
I have a similar problem with my mom, Debe. She will never wear the name tag at an event but displays it in a spot in the studio when we return home. I solved this problem by always making her wear an apron with her name embroidered on it. Maybe a waist apron for Eric with his name on it will solve this issue. It worked for me. š
LOL! Diamond, I don’t think I could EVER get him to wear an apron!!
In defense of Eric, I don’t like wearing those lanyards either. They are to big and bulky, they get in the way and they get cought on things when you bend over. Just give me a “HELLO my name is:” sticker name tag.
LOL!! I think he’s on the same page as you… he’d rather have a sticker! Thanks for reading!!!
In my defense I came across this collection when we made our move to Tennessee. You have to understand what a knot these make after a few years. Getting these apart is like untangling a fine necklace and Iām not the one Lynne asks for that task. Sylena, just remind me and you can add these to your collection.
Sounds like excuses, excuses to me.
