The new campus cards have arrived. We had photos done a while back. Now they're here.

I must admit mine is much improved. I guess I was in shock when the first one was taken - it was my first few hours in a new job. Now I'm not so embarrassed to wear the thing. Though I can't say I like the vivid lime green of the card in place of the more subdued green of the old one. I'm sure I won't notice soon though.

I may have mentioned way way back that that's one difference between the library here and TheOldPlace. Here staff are much more inclined to keep campus cards on them at all times round their neck on chain or cord. It's been a while now (nearly two years!) but I don't recall many doing that at TheOldPlace. Maybe no one.

They haven't yet implemented the proximity detection that's supposed to be on its way - so these new ones are still swipe access. But mine seems to be letting me in, still, to the huge range of places I'm 'cleared' for. Some, apparently, have had the wrong numbers printed on them preventing borrowing from the Library. Great!
