    I keep no desk snacks for I would eat them all immediately. There's one package of oyster crackers in my jacket pocket for an emergency snack, but that's about it.

    What about the people who elect to not participate in social media?

    Like, if you do a search for my name you get very little. No Facebook, no Instagram, no nothing. A few articles about my arrest almost 15 years ago, a couple of pieces mentioning me or picturing me interviewing/MC'ing for a radio event, and that's all.

    So do I get pushed to the bottom of the pile because HR rep can't figure me out? This is something I've been wondering about for a bit.

    Depends on the job, and what you got arrested for. I worked with a colleague who had a criminal record. Didn't stop him getting a job or his government security clearance. You just have to disclose the information at application

    So this job interview I tried to turn down twice has rolled around

    So of course they are running "at least half an hour" late

    They aren't doing themselves any favours here

    Amazing. That was possibly the worst interview I've ever had.

    It involved arguing with a grown man about the meaning of the word transparent

    You should couldn't see their point of view?

    I wanted to use my name for a professional sounding email to put on resumes. I had to resort to using @live.com for it because literally every thing on gmail is taken. I'm embarased to be using @live, and if I was an employer I'd count that as a strike against me.

    My email address has taya in it which is one letter off from my real first name so when I give people my email, people assume I made a typo and send emails to my actual first name @ gmail.com and I don't get the email.

    I made another email address with my real ass name spelled correctly but it is @ outlook.com.

    I just own every combination of firstname.lastname@gmail.com for my name, including shortened versions and mispellings and ones with my middle initial.

    I get a lot of people who accidentally use one of my gmail accounts (instead of like, their @yahoo.com or @comcast.net or whatever address) when they sign up for something online.

    An AOL email? Something seems fishy.

    One of my coworkers and classmates uses an aol email address. Still logs into AOL and everything.

    I asked him about the servers still being online and he responded: "yeah like all but 2 days a month they're fine"

    Just what.

    Also in further news this stupid vision test took 30 minutes. Better than perfect vision. Now I'm waiting in the airport and was able to get a flight earlier to get home, so instead of going to Dallas Love Field and then to Austin I'm going straight to Austin and saving the government $8.61. And I've emailed my PoC my expenses for the hotel and Lyfts (85 bucks whoo lad).

    What a fucking stupid waste of time and money.

    Genius.

    I considered using my last name for a business name but knowing how racist/idiotic people in this area can be I don't think it'd be a swell idea.

    Today I was in a waste management facility. We were warned by a forklift operator not to touch the edges of the bins being used in the operation. One warning, a second "Seriously, do not touch the bins at all," followed by, "If anyone touches it, let me know right away."

    Neat!
