Personal Post Secret

I used my old name tag from the University Bookstore to create my Post Secret card. I emblazoned the name tag with the phrase "No, I can't help you". This message was in response to the shirts we had to wear while working. The shirts were bright red with the message "Yes, I can help you!" on the front. When I worked at the bookstore, I did not receive any training; so I thought that shirt was a little misleading. I figured my name tag was the best way to represent this idea because it clearly identified the subject of my statement. I'm fairly certain that my classmates understood the message; I don't think anyone had any deeper insights to it either. I did not receive any unexpected reactions to my card. I think this is because most people identified with my sentiments.

I think that was rather effective, as I've often times laughed to myself when a bookstore employee could not help me with what I was looking for. Having it on your name tag brought it directly to you, so that it wasn't accusing other people, but the connection could easily be drawn.
