Note to self. Buying cheap retractable lanyards for your ID card and cardkey is only a good idea if you are going to use it for only a month or so. After that, it’s a crap shoot whether the cheap string will snap while you are at your desk, in your car, or walking to/from lunch.
Though searching for it in the latter case does give one an extra half hour walk in the afternoon.
I prefer a belt-mounted retractable lanyard — but, if I didn’t, Amanda’s suggestion of one of these would be sorely tempting. Shiny!
