You know that saying, be careful what you wish for?
I always forget to be careful when I’m wishing.
Point in case: Looking at your basically ignored Linked In profile and wishing you had a recommendation posted on it so that you could seem as professional as all the other cool kids.
(Side note: What the hell do I have a Linked In profile for? Although, I suppose the better question is, what the hell is Linked In for and does anyone even use it?)
Ahem.
So anyways, when my friend, Anissa, mentioned on her Google+ that she was in the mood to write some recommendations, well you can bet your bottom dollar that I raised my proverbial hand and typed as fast as my little fingers would allow, ‘I want!!’
Here was my chance to prove I was worthy to the unmasses who never look at my Linked profile to begin with.
Anissa, because she’s Anissa, and she’s awesome, complied.
Colour me happy.
And then I saw the recommendation:
I’m just grateful she didn’t include the picture of my boobs I drunkenly allowed her to take one night.
Ya.
So thanks Anissa, for upping my street cred. Or something.
Y’all have a happy weekend. And if you’re bored and looking for something to read, hop on over to Hogwash From a Hoser. While I basically abandoned this blog all week long to eat the remnants of my birthday cake, I actually posted stuff over there.
I wrote about lame life lists and hookers and it’s the type of post I’m hoping my son’s future bosses never read. And then I wrote about life as a basically single married woman and how that blows. Because seriously? Waking up to a dog licking your neck is not near as fun as it would be if it were my husband.
Have a great weekend!

Hilarious recommendation!
And coming from Anissa, you might should have harbored a LITTLE suspicion…
Hey: guess what?
I get to meet her in about three weeks when I go to Bloggy Boot Camp in Atlanta! Can you believe it? I’m so excited!
Anissa
WAIT. LinkedIn profiles are supposed to be professional;?
Vinobaby
But you know, you will probably get a ton of new Network “friend” requests from it. Any publicity is good publicity, right? Add that you write about hookers and your profile will probably go off the charts.
Cheers.
E :-)
That recommendation is hilarious. I agree you’ll definitely become way more popular.
Anissa
also?? That picture is still on my phone. and my computer.
as a screensaver.

Be thankful that’s all it was… It could have been worse!

My LinkedIn profile seems really, really boring now. (sigh) Time to rustle up some “recommendations”! (grin)

HI-STERICAL!
I gotta say though…I ain’t shocked. At all. I can tell from her FB updates, there is no protection with her.
Or from her.

I saw this posted on a friend’s FB profile and thought about you and your fight against the R word. I figured you’d be interested.

I’ve done some pretty stupid stuff, but to be honest, i never thought of sabotaging a friend’s linkedin page. Until I read this post. Thanks.

By “STD” she meant St. Theresa Domicile, right?

That description will make people take a second look on Linded In.

My blog has ‘Tits’ in the title so you now have me thinking my kids’ futures are completely screwed.
