You can tell it is old since it still has ‘Consultant‘ on it. I haven’t done any consulting in a very long time.
Two members of longstanding, who knew me from 20-years ago, asked me today, ahead of the meeting, if I had found my badge. I did not think my old badge would still be around. I had had a cursory glance at the box of badges at the entrance & had not seen one with my name on it.
These two gallant gentleman then came out & lifted the top tray of the box. There was another layer of badges underneath. I SHOULD HAVE REMEMBERED THIS. As the ‘Sergeant-At-Arms’ I used to be responsible for that box. But, it was a long time ago & I never thought that ‘they’ would retain old badges for that long. I was wrong. My old badge was still there.
Of course I am going to use it. Already did today. It made me happy.
