Can I get a hairnet too?

Today my boss’s assistant stopped by to drop off my new name tag! It’s spiffy: with my name, title, and our institution engraved in white on the plastic maroon-colored background. Instead of attaching to my clothes with a pin or a clip, there’s a magnet on the back. I wasn’t sure how to respond to the “gift.” I mean, it’s not as if the other staff wear name tags. I figure it was meant to wear to Trustee meetings, etc. where folks might not know who I am. Still, there’s a bit of “I got promoted and all I got was a name tag” irony to this.

    I have one of those too. I wear it for board meetings and orientation, that’s it. We did get a bunch for our student staff, as a couple of years ago some random person walked into a classroom, packed up the media equipment cart, and left with it. While 2 students were in there. Who helped the guy pack it. So now we tell folks that any IT staff will be wearing a name tag when they pick up equipment.
