OK, I feel like the Grinch here, but I just have to say my piece! The other day I received an e-Christmas (holiday) greeting from a business colleague. Well, let me rephrase that!
I received the missive from this person's administrative assistant on this person's behalf.
Now, I am no dummy. I know that there are plenty of secretaries and administrative assistants that have signed their boss' name and addressed the company card and sent them out without the boss ever touching them, but at least they PRETENDED like the boss sent them.
Instead of feeling joyous I felt less than!
Then I wondered if I was just jealous because I have give up sending out Christmas cards. I don't have time to do it well.... or I don't make time to do it. (I grew up in a household where my parents sent out over 700 cards every year with a personal message on each and every one. And my dad helped with that chore, too.)
So maybe I'm a dinosaur. But please save yourself time. Don't send me a holiday card unless you can personally enter into the transaction.
What do you think?
