Send thank-you notes, send condolence cards, send congratulations cards to celebrate all manner of successes, send postcards to say I’m thinking of you. It can matter. It definitely brings more good into the world.
in his last lecture, randy pausch was emphatic about sending actual physical thank-you cards and i thought it would be a good practice but imagined it would be more viable if you were dealing with people who had easily-discoverable offices to send them to
I do occasionally send cards to findable office addresses of people I know here or knew at the old place. Sometimes they get to the people, sometimes not.
