Bah, Friggin, Humbug!
OK, I get the fact that people need to send a picture with nothing but a signature and no return address.
This is the time of year when everyone sends these pathetic Christmas cards of just their kids and/or pets. I don’t really care about seeing them, I care about seeing how they age or how much plastic surgery they’ve had over the past year. Send a card with your current email, telephone, and address.
And then the Grinch got a wonderful, terrible idea.
Throw in a cheesy business card from Vistaprint (they are free), or a label or something.
Heaven forbid actually joining Plaxo and keeping it updated.
Or submit yourself to the Jack Welch theory of friendship, where the bottom 10% are performance managed out because they don’t bother to keep people updated with current contact info.
Let alone write a note/letter every once in a while.
