getting paid for autographs

throughout my life I have never really been one to get all excited about an autograph. Yeah, names are cool and all and its kinda neat to get some famous sports star or other celebrity to sign something, but really, what's so special? Its just a bit of ink scribbled on a piece of paper or other object thats gonna fade over time. Yeah, I have my share of these scribbles whether they be from school friends in yearbooks or actual famous people I have met somewhere in my collection of stuff. Today I can't really tell you who I got to sign what further proving my point that they are kinda useless.

After that little rant on why I think autographs are pointless and all, let me tell you that today, I got paid to write my name about two hundred times. It was pretty cool although my hand got a bit tired in the end. At this point you are probably wondering why...well it was for a limited edition card that will be sent out to various locations around the country. Okay, so its not all that important or anything, it just sounds like it is when I explain it that way. Really, at work today we had to sign the Christmas cards that we will be sending to all the stores that we ship to. The brief stop in the work day to stretch my hand and write my name proved to be a nice break from a routine and very boring Thursday at work. Friday looks to be just as boring although instead of signing cards, I get free lunch!
