Having touched on the delicate subject of parking tickets, I started thinking about whether the traffic wardens should have badges on their sleeves to denote how many people they'd booked. I suppose there'd only be room if each badge represented at least 100??
Then I wandered off into thinking maybe police officers could have them to denote the number of arrests they'd made....
Surgeons for the number of successful operations... plastic surgeons would of course have different badges in the shape of noses, breasts....
If you had sleeve badges for your job what would they denote?? and what emblem/picture would they be?
I think mine would be for bedpans emptied; incontinenece pads changed or bottoms wiped. I dont think anyone would need to be a creative genius to come up with an emblem for those

Probably number of times i've answered stupid questions, which would give me little images of a person smacking their head against a wall.
If someone has a genuine query due to a lack of IT knowledge or something which isn't obvious i can politely explain a solution, but when you get questions like:
"Where should i plug my PC in? I've got about 7 sockets free.."
"1 is in the lounge, 2 in the bedroom, 3 in the hall ..."
and
Help we've had a powercut and i cant see my data ... is the power still off ... yes, will that affect the PC?
and
the guy who wasted 25mins of my time adamant that simply cutting the cable on a keyboard would make it work as a wireless one ... (he actually ripped off the F row of keys and 'lay' batteries there...)
Trust me i've got a million of these stories from the banal, to the ludicrous, but all 100% genuine

Is your first trouble shooting question always "Is it plugged into the power source?" My nephew worked at a call center and had those kinds of calls.

I have done so many different things, I do not know which badges I would need. I could have some like yours, and some to represent children. I know, I was thinking clown noses, or perhaps Mad Hatter's Hats. Maybe Dr. Seuss Hats? I just do not know.

I forgot about waitressing. I would have baskets of corn chips and bowls of hot sauce!!! Actually I got very real badges, burns on the insides of my arms from carrying multiple plates of Mexican food warmed in a 500 degree oven. I could carry five at a time.

If they ever came up with a badge for "Wanted to smack down a pillock but didn't" I'd be well sorted! Wow, I'd have so many of 'em, I could make a suit AND a tent to live in! 
The emblem would consist of a pillock being held by the throat by one hand; and another hand palm outwards to represent "Stop!" would be alongside.
Given your own badge you spoke about there Wizzy; if you earn enough of them, you should be allowed to say that you're in the Pees Corp.

Meetings attended. And the picture next to the little number would look something like this:
Having said that, there's an awful lot of crap that gets broadcast on TV & becomes popular!@coffeegurl (1467)

Oh, yes, and the number of minutes I was on the call and the average time I was on a call. I think this is a great idea for a short or movie! Think of a bunch of characters walking around with those armbands! Or a television show. You think like a writer Wizzy! Start writing your story and pitch it to the networks!
