In ur base, handin' out Christmas cards

Who do you think you are? If you'd stopped winning, you could have been the Biggest Loser, if you gave up, you could have been a Survivor, if you'd stopped reading Orwell, you could have been on Big Brother!

Sigh E-Christmas Cards must be the in thing. Our receptionist forwards all E-Cards sent to the standard work address onto all of the staff and i have like 10+ in my inbox just from today and they are all crap D:

In case you didn't RTFA, these are actual cards though.

But yeh, e-cards are stupid. Cards, in and of themselves, are pretty pointless. But what they do signify is a willingness to expend time and physical resources to pass on a message.

E-cards signify a willingness to be cheap and then claim we're doing it to remain in-line with our Corporate Sustainability and Green Policies.

If you're too cheap to send a real card, just don't bother (this is my company, I'm talking about).

The whole "green movement" thing is pretty craptastic now. It's gone the way of vitamins and late night marketing excercise machines - expensive, and useful only as a placebo.

Sorry cart, green movement is over, and has been sent to the archives with the customer service trend that always tries to raise its head when it can.
The buzz is all about the current economy, recession, etc.

I do agree about E-Cards - waste my time!
