Fact: My life is about work because I am a ginormous dork.

Fact: I need a hobby.

This happens to be the topic of a post on Friday. Stay tuned! xoxoxo

That's fair enough - though I don't think anyone was advocating literally sitting there and counting "Okay, tweeted about writing my resume, about a link to an article in my industry, an inspirational business quote, and a brilliant business observation from yours truly...okay, time to write about my cat" which is what I take from your "robots" comment.

I think if you're *on the market* it makes sense to do things that make you look good professionally, which usually translates to writing about things other than our personal lives. If you'd spent five days a week writing about cats, would you have been able to sell PunkRockHR?

I notice that 12 of your last 15 posts are more or less work-related (I wasn't sure which category to count the Halloween office party post in), or roughly 4/5... ;)

This is such a big subject for a comment, but I am offended when someone tries to craft a formula for job-seeking-success using social media tools.

- If four-fifths of your tweets should be business-related, should four-fifths of your life be business-related?
- Does data exist to show that women who tweet too much about their cats can't find a job?
- Should we start stripping away our personal lives and become robots that are wholly dedicated to enhancing shareholder value and profitability?

Must write a little more about social media & finding a job in a more thoughtful way, but I totally hated these tips.

For real? Except for the Starbucks thing, which I fully agree is dumb (and said so), it made a fair amount of sense...I thought. Tell me more!

Thanks, Joe.

My husband called from Japan and asked, "What are you doing?"

I said, "I'm being a new media success story."

Hahahaha, thanks for that line. xoxoxo

There's another great blog that talks about why HR should branch out beyond traditional media sites and embrace social networking.

Jennifer McClure is the author and here's the site:

I remember college & presentations. The saying went something like this:

Laurie...lol....naps are the best.

Re: A Week Off

lruettimann — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 18:36:56 -0000

I like the idea of naps, pretzel rods, and then maybe a little futzing around on the computer, which exhausts a normal person so another nap is required.

Gosh, it is a pretty crazy thing. They guy seemed really unstable. I suppose standing out in the rain on a Thursday night "directing" traffic isn't the best job in the world. But the banging on the care and stuff...really aggressive. I'm sure that he did't like how it was going with 500 cars before me, and somehow he didn't like what I did (go straight). A suggestion to the guy...wear refelctive gear and have flashlights if you want to direct traffic in a rainstorm. And don't bang on my car.

Wow, you're lucky you weren't hurt.

I feel sorry for weird people like that, akshully. What goes wrong in someone's life where they are in a parking lot, in the rain, harassing a guy in a car? Crazy dude needs help.
