Geek of the Week is a prize of extreme status. It is not given weekly nor is it limited to one a week. It is reserved for the person or group of people so dedicated to their mission that they do or say something with such enthusiasm that even people with the same mission notice the hilariousness. Bystanders simply think they are speaking a foreign language or utter nonsense. It is to be reserved for true enthusiasm. It is an award to be highly regarded.

Geek on a trading card


trading card

I do believe that I have totally outdone myself. I can't speak for the other 375 members of the flickr group but this was a lot of fun to create. I think we should all have to have one of these to hand out.



No more launching into useless "elevator speaches" when both parties know that neither is interested...
"You want to know my research interests? Let me give you my card.."



No more lengthy job interviews that ultimately end in "We'll call you"
"Want to know if we are a good fit - let's take a gander at the other cards in your pile..."



Things not working out with an employee - get together with other bosses for trade and negotiation sessions. "I'll give you one cataloger and two clerks for that adult services department head."



Friction-free info, indeed.

Go make one!!
