Traveling Thoughts

Today in my first class, we had to meet and greet people (network) and once we had met someone we could put our name tags on.  Most of us put our name tags on our left side.  There were a few people who put the name tag on their right side.  When we were asked why we put our name tags where we did, none of us had a good answer.  For those of use with them on the left it was because that’s where our heart was, and where we put our hands when we said the pledge or sang that one song, so that’s where we put our name tags.  The comment for the people that had them on their left side was “unless you’re left handed and then it goes on your right side.”

It turns out that the name tag belongs on the right side of your chest because when you shake hands that’s the line of sight.

So as I was moving my name tag, I turned to my friend and said, “but that one’s named Alyssa.”  At which point giggles broke out.

The point here being though, when you’re wearing a name tag, it needs to be on the right side of your chest…
