I am on it.

All the cool kids have one, or so I am told. I’m generally horrible about social networking sites. The big draw of Facebook for me, lately, has been finding people I went to high school with and staying connected to current and former coworkers — especially since my best friend set a Tetris Marathon score so high I can only gaze at it in wistful amazement, my attempts to beat it falling comically short.

LinkedIn has no such distractions. Also, I am also advised that it’s professionally beneficial and I am a total lemming in this job market, it’s best not to take chances.

Now, to see if I can find a nice, professional photo of myself to add (LinkedIn is nagging me because I have not uploaded one, nor have I been “recommended” by any of my shiny new connections). Most of my self-taken photos are, shall we say, candid. Not a very put-together presentation of myself. Okay, okay: I tend to be wearing the same old ratty sweater and holding a cat.
