"Attorney seeking litigation employment" her description reads.
Is that social media's version of attorney chasing ambulances?
I was on LinkedIn searching my connections which is the modern version of flipping through old High School Annuals to see who is still your friend. Instead of passing a note in class ... "Do you like me? Check one: Yes, no, or maybe" ... in today's world you just click connect and the invitation is sent on your behalf.
Then you move on to the next page of possibilities.
As you do this a couple of things jump out at you. Half of the people are "Bubble Heads" meaning there's no picture beside your name and what you do so ... there's no YOU!
You look like an air head because you're just a cartoon!
The possible connections of people who have photographs beside their name and occupation at least gives the impression that they know what the hell they're doing ... even if they are the most incompetent employed person in the universe (Congress comes to mind).
The Bubble Heads ... not so much.
LinkedIn is the gated community of social media. It is reserved for the professionals and only professional stuff needs to take place on it. Like the above referenced attorney who seeks litigation employment!
It's the Yuppie version of Facebook.
You're not supposed to cuss or YELL on it.
What's great about though is it allows you to collect your friends without actually having to be with them. You merely click "connect" and they hit "accept" ... or they don't.
When they don't you give them the benefit of the doubt. She's an idiot who has a LinkedIn account but never checks it. No wonder she's a Bubble Head.
Then the dread of rejection creeps in. "What if she is checking it? She sees its me? She doesn't want to connect even doesn't she has to see or talk to me! OMG!"
To which I say, "Fuck em!"
Move on. If someone who had time for you before doesn't have time for you now, even if it is only a nano-second and no real interaction is involved, they should just go enjoy Hell now!
I don't need them anyway.
I've got this wonderful collection of friends and business associates that I never have to communicate with.
Could it get any better?
