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
They have a candy bucket in the backroom at work it usually gets candy or sometimes the fruit buckets from broken open packages
But lately it's been candy canes and I would like something different
TIL my twitter handle of cougarhunter69blazeit420ilovemilfs may have cost me a job? This is outrageous!
You joke, but I review resumes and... Let's just say you'd be surprised at what people use for their professional work email addresses.
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.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
Your weird west coast time zone nonsense just super freaked me out because I literally just read that and said out loud "How the fuck is it only noon?"

I have brainleech as some of my emails . I often get spam fishing emails for Brian Leech or similar which is not my real name. My real name is 3 uncommon first names
I bought a domain name based on my lastname so it's like firstname@lastname.domain
it's good stuff
One of my architecture friends did something similar in first year of our studies where he made his email Firstname@fullnamearchitecture.com prepared for when he sets his company up in twenty years time.

Kid in one of my university classes was using something like "hotstud6969@aol.com" at one point
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).

And they accuse architects of being egotistical!
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.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
Things you don't want to see shortly before an 11-day break:
"Your password will expire in three days, please change your password."
oh fuck, this is so getting written on a post-it note.
just wait until you come back!
Yeah I definitely haven't made the mistake of tying certain automated tasks to my login until a more permanent solution was developed. That's not a thing >_>

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."

Speaking of which i need to paint that dang wizard miniature they got me!
No just the regular kind. I'm not fancy like you folk, I'm a simple man who loves cheese crackers

Just gotta hold out 30 more minutes.

Cause you're living in the past Mori. It's already 1:00 out here.
Woke up early. My sleep patterns have been shot to shit for the last week because a sore throat is preventing me from sleeping properly.
it's good stuff
I did an interview once with a girl whos email was "Whaleloverpromiseitsnotsexual@hotmail.com" and my only reaction was 'Hotmail? Its 2012!'
"Your password will expire in three days, please change your password."
oh fuck, this is so getting written on a post-it note.
just wait until you come back!
Wait, there's a 4:30 in the morning now?
What a world we live in.
Tomorrow if I stay through the afternoon potluck I get a turkey.
My primary email account is still my old hotmail account from the 90's. It gets far less spam than my gmail account.
I didn't know you worked for Marley and Marley!
