After getting back from the comedy club tonight, I decided to clean things up a little. I ended up finding some event tickets, and I moved them to the Ziploc bag that most of them are in. Also found some more business cards, including one from a comedian. I taped a few to my wall, but then said it was too crowded there. So I found seven cards I didn't need there and shredded them. The ones I shredded were mainly from businesses I haven't bought much from lately. One of them was a sports memorabilia shop near the Metrodome.
Usually it is just one at a time when I shred cards, like the way I count change in my bank. I use an old card for this purpose, which is taped to the side of the can. When I add a few coins, I update the total. I find I do stay fairly accurate when it goes to the change counter. I knew I needed to update my cards to say 'writer' as well as 'comedian' and take information off like my office phone number.
Two of my friends were performing tonight at the club, one of them spoke about being 'rated' and I asked about it after the show. He did the joke about porn in run-down hotels, which is funny. The other spoke of what he saw while on layover at an airport, a two-headed woman.
At work I returned from lunch in the afternoon and had a message waiting for me from our A.A. It was a request to move supplies like boxes of copy paper out of a cubbyhole- for a trick or treating event the company is having for Halloween. I did the safe thing and deferred to a supervisor, prefer to see that I don't get yelled at for doing what wasn't approved. It's a rather simple thing in this day and age, and I like that setup. If one wants to keep somebody in the loop, just copy them on an email.

I also use the plastic business cards for my own business. It is the best way of identification. Thanks for this interesting post.
