Huge, oversized, stupidly shape business cards--whoever decided that these should be a thing needs to be condemned to the hottest circles of hell.

I get a lot of business cards. I have a system for handling them. That system includes physical items (card wallets and a rolodex) that are a certain size and shape. Your designer, massive, modern cards do not work with my system. They are a PITA to deal with. They cause me trouble. They are not making the business case that you or your company are an organization I want to deal with because I already have a base level of animosity built up against you because of the nuisance factor that comes built in with your non-standard cards.

(Here endeth my rant for the day.)

Something tiny I noticed about this episode, which makes sense for a "post-pandemic" party, was that there were 1-2 people wearing masks at the party. As someone who continues to wear a mask at social events, but is in the vast vast minority, it felt like a nice tip o the hat while also feeling real.
