The LoneStar Team on...Parallel Parking

This week, to get to know the LoneStar Team a little better, we asked...
Do you parallel park your car? Or would you rather drive around the block?
Check out their responses:

Pamela: I parallel park. Much easier than driving around.

Tasha: You know what, I can parallel park a car any day, but since I've had a truck, I can't parallel park to save my life. I'm "special around the edges" sometimes. ;)

Benito: The last time I parallel parked was when I took my drivers license, because I had too. I never have had to do it again. There's always other parking spaces.

Lindsay: I'll parallel park if I really have to, but I normally drive around the block once or twice first.

Joe: no

Lana: I drive around the block! YES! YES ! I have hit a parked car trying to parallel park. So to prevent the hassle of calling the insurance, I just drive around the block and try again. Sometimes around and around and around the block I GO!!!! LOL

Levi: Drive around the block... :( It's probably the only thing that takes away from my excellent city driving skills: I can't parallel park.

Closet Doors

Ok, so this is really random, but this week we wanted to know if The LoneStar Team slept with their closet doors open or closed. Check out the responses we received to share with you...

*Corina* They are either open or closed, I don't really pay attention to that.

*Levi* Open. It's too much work to close it just to open it again in the morning when I need something out of it. Mine slide and don't have handles, so it can be rather difficult.

*Lana* closed!!!!! If it is open,I feel like someone is hiding in there watching me!

*Alicia* Closed--if not, I will likely find my shoes eaten to bits in the morning by my dogs.

*Tasha* Sometimes it's open and sometimes it's closed.

*Benito* always closed.

*Mary* CLOSED!!! It keeps the boogeyman away.

*Pamela* When I was younger I would make sure my door was closed when I went to sleep. Not so much any more. Open/closed... doesn't matter.

*Joe* CLOSED so the boogeyman won't come out

*Mat* idk, my closet is in my bathroom so I guess its closed to save electricity when the a/c is on

*Lindsay* Either is fine with me - I'm more afraid of the monster under the bed than the boogeyman.

Congrats!

Congratulations to Lindsay! Today is her 2 year anniversary with LoneStar!

Benito - Don't really have a default ringtone, just generic.

The LoneStar Team's Favorite Name Badge of the Week

The label badge pictured above is the LoneStar Team's Favorite Badge this Week. Usually ordered by PLANit, Inc., this LBC badge is the ultimate option for style, as well as practicality. The label badge style allows for conveniently attaching a new name label in the recessed slot and eliminating the need to re-order name badges for frequent new hires. The dye-sublimation process used also allows PLANit's bright artwork to pop against the white background, making for an eye-catching, along with very handy, name badge.

The LoneStar Team's Favorite Name Badge of the Week

The Team's Favorite Badge this week is the above full-color BPP Photo badge. Regularly ordered by Access in this awesome vibrant green, it stands out to us as a professional and handy, yet fun and attractive name badge. The precise digital printing process used helps to accentuate their artwork and the bright green color, while also capturing all the finer, crisp details in the photo and barcode. We think this style was an awesome choice for an awesome name badge layout.

Handy Double-line Custom Window Badges

The WBWL3 badges are one of our handy window badge styles. They're made using a durable two-toned plastic which is available in 26 bright color combinations. They also come standard with a heavy duty black acrylic backer, perfect for use in busy or harsh environments. The badges can be laser engraved with your custom logo to show off your company's personal touch, but the best part about them is that they're totally reusable!

Every order for the WBWL3 badges will come with custom fitted inserts and plastic overlay shields to perfectly sit inside the double-line window slot. This over-sized area will help allow you to clearly display employee names, titles, or departments, and when you have a new employee or an employee that changed departments, you can simply print a new name insert for existing badge. We offer additional replacement inserts separately online as well. Check out our F105 Inserts.

The WBWL3 badges are definitely a convenient and cost effective option for any large corporation or for use at trade shows and company conferences. Check them out online now and let us help you start designing your custom window badges today!
