unnametagged

RantWoman has adopted the following convention: whenever RantWoman is offered the opportunity to make a nametag, RantWoman's first instinct is to write PLEASE TELL ME YOUR NAME on one side and her name and Meeting on the other.

RantWoman did this at Quarterly Meeting when the nametag regimen included 4x6" index cards, yarn, hole punches and various writing implements. After Quarterly, RantWoman threw her UnNameTag in her Quaker folio; the UnNameTag has now been re-used several times.



For another take on the nametag issue:

RantWoman finds herself thinking fondly though of a certain church where the RantParents and RantAunt belonged. Everyone had pin-on buttons with their names printed on the buttons. This of course would be a great way to generate insider / outsider feelings, but RantWoman never actually CARED whether she had a nametag when she visited. RantWoman though is sentimental about having such artifacts after both RantDad and Rant Aunt passed away. But there is no accounting for taste.
