Daz-Cards

I have recently changed jobs.  It's all very exciting.

Last week, my old workmates had a team meeting.  It was their first one without me.

After the meeting, one of them came up to me and said:

'It just wasn't the same without you.'

And that got me thinking.  There are a lot of people in the world who have not enjoyed my presence in their meetings. My old work mates are the lucky ones - they had me for six years.

So I have devised a way for all of you to have me at your meeting in an almost authentic fashion.

Daz-Cards.

Look, here they are!

Now, it should be noted that I rarely contribute anything useful to a meeting.  Mostly I just blurt out random phrases, poke people or demand cups of tea.  And these cards will enable to you reproduce that experience exactly.

All you need to do is print out the image files below, double sided so the card numbers match and cut them out.

Next, simply lay out the cards, picture side down in front of you at the meeting.  Any order you like, it doesn't really matter.  In the picture below, I've mixed them up so you don't notice my minor numbering error!

You will notice that some have what I like to call 'trigger criteria' on them and some have the word 'chance' on them.  They're really simple to use:

If someone uses a phrase or performs an action that matches one of the trigger criteria, just turn the relevant card over and read it out loud or perform the action.

If you feel like you haven't heard from me for a while, you can use the 'chance' cards, which come with my personal guarantee that the content on the reverse will slot seamlessly into the conversation.

By the time you've used all the cards, you will feel like I was actually there in your meeting.  And that is a good thing.

We apologise for the delay...

This is a personal message to my one reader:  Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of weeks.

It's not because I've been lazy. On the contrary, I've been busier than ever before.  Just last weekend I wrote and recorded a song and made a music video for it:

Yes.  That's me.  It's a thing.

I've been helping my slave-driving brother put together losts of stuff for a Battle of the Bards competion on his website.  It's very cool in an ultra-geeky sorty of way.  Check it out here.

It's meant making videos, drawing pictures and all that cool stuff.

So, yeah.  Not lazy...  just late!

Also, maybe a bit lazy...
