Should I push the panic button?
- Yes
- No
- Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
- Not be so dramatic maybe?
Of all the facebooks, twitters, facemyspace and hi5meifyouarecook accounts, this is the one I’m most scared to make. Not so much scared but more like “If someone googles me, this is going to be one of the first things that pops up!” (long shot and long thought, right?)
LinkedIn.
I swear the first time I read that word, I was wondering what in the rat’s backyard is this typo of a word? I thought the “In” was “Ln”. That just sounds like a horrible way to start a career.
BUT.
Today, I’m getting me some of that.
If any of you global domination companies are looking me up, my profile won’t tell you that I really really don’t like meetings, unless there’s food. I love working and I love writing. I love other people writing and I love me writing. I think I’m hilarious and I probably will make your day better just because… I don’t want to take myself too seriously and I won’t even try to do that at a job interview even if it means I don’t get the job.
I’d like to think that this life will bring fame and riches to my doorstep but if it doesn’t, I know I’ll be okay. I have places to see, I have a big big big world to make my own, I have a family, I have a new life they’re going to support me through and one I’m going to fight for. I do have something special — I know better.
I have no expectations except happiness and I probably sound really stupid bloviating about making a silly little online profile. But this is no big deal. I’ll get to where I’m going some way or the other.
