Lot of Me to Go Around
On Friday I picked up two more academic IDs, bringing my collection of currently-valid university IDs to 4. I feel like one of those con men you see in movies who have bundles of fake IDs for every contingency. Except that mine all have my real name and the same goofy “I don’t want to scowl but I really don’t feel like grinning like an idiot” sheepish half-grin I have on most of my IDs.
Except my passport. I definitely managed to scowl on that one.
I think I’m going to hook all of these IDs up to one lanyard and just walk around with a gigantic identity necklace all the time.
