We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am really not able to focus on work right now. Totally scattered. However long a colonoscopy and diagnosis takes is too long.

Unrelatedly why the hell treat linkedin like Facebook? People I don't know are sending me link requests. I'm assuming they're linked to people I'm linked with, but no. I'm not collecting connections. Quality over quantity, and I don't know who you are.

Any recommendations for other places to look for used cars on the internet other than Craigslist and Carmax? I will drive down to some dealerships in Santa Monica tomorrow, but I expect them to be pricey.

seriously. I have so much linkedin hate right now I can barely contain it.

I don't even have a linkedin account.

The actual colonoscopy doesn't take that long, less than an hour I'd say. But since I'm usually the one being prepped and then in recovery, by the time I get home a good 3-4 hours have passed.

Thanks, Sail.

What am I missing here? Something gold-filled? Or an unfortunate typo?

I don't even have a linkedin account.

How is it affecting you, then?

Office 2010 has a plugin where it looks up mail recipients/senders in linkedin and displays their pictures underneath the emails. But it doesn't find me. I can't work out how to resolve that. I'm assuming that if I put in my work email address it'll fix it, but I don't see how to add a secondary email addy.

Then again, it is sort of creepy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I accept almost all Linkedin requests - I treat them as potential networking opportunities. If the company is related to my industry, they're probably a good person to "know."

I see no reason to accept the request of a construction site auditor in Britain.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
