Never used Twitter. Never understood the fascination. Instagram, ask.com & gopro.com are mostly where my daughters post. But im sure there's a few I don't know about. Gonna have to check the history tomorrow. Thanks assholes

Twitter is awesome for myriad items...from draft night updates, election night information, article shares and celebrity meltdowns. It's the only social media I engage in. Instagram is a better platform for IRL lying than Facebook.

Also, Zuckerberg is sticking to things because he is arrogant. For every Mark Cuban aligned thinker you have a Steve Jobs. For every Paul Allen you have a Bill Gates.

Yeah, but the majority of Bill Gates' fortune has nothing to do with Microsoft (except indirectly, i.e., the fortune he made off of Microsoft allowed him to invest and make more money than his Microsoft holdings are worth)...

at 87 I have to ask "why?"

I think if I make it to 87, I'll be asking "why not?"...

This is the text exchange I had with my CEO/CIO last night at 11pm:

CEO/CIO: So you added a picture to your LinkedIn. Dapper.

Me: Thanks. I appreciate the compliment.

C: That was just a veiled "you looking to leave?"

M: Never that, Boss.

I figured that was passive aggressive enough to get across the point that I it's not like I would tell if I was (and I am...even though I keep saying that every year and they keep doing things that make me stay).

must be nice to be appreciated.

I'm in that area, but I'm afraid if my boss found a resume of mine online, he'd be proactively looking for a replacement as opposed to trying to negotiate with me to stay.

At this point, as long as I'm fully invested as a team player, I'm taken care of, however as soon as my boss moves on to another job and I'll be on an island which is why I try to stay in tight with any potential future boss.

so you're saying that you are a future suckup?

Why not try to become the future boss?

that would limit his time to be able to post here and around the Internet and be an avid online porn collector

I have him to thank for whenever i see a fat person, i wonder how they get their ass wiped.

The folks in our firm are in demand and some will befriend a recruiter on Linkedin 'cause they know we'll shit our pants.

Future? Where the hell have you been?

I haven't been able to locate a recruiter on LinkedIn for a grain truck unloader...

Why not try to become the future boss?

I'm in a niche support role - a direct report to the V.P., but I'd never be considered as a replacement because I don't have any experience running a P&L organization. I like my job and it was a conscious decision to not go that route, but the downside is it leaves me vulnerable when there is a change at the top.

and yes, to keep this job, you god damn better believe I'll be a suck up if I need to.
