I, like almost everybody I know, am on Facebook. Before Facebook if I wanted to stay in touch with old friends from college etc. I had to hunt them down and make a constant effort to remain in contact with them. Facebook bridged the gap and made it easy to be a fly on the wall of their lives so I can see their photos and know what's been up and vice versa, while still living my normal busy life.

A few months ago I was interviewing a creepy guy for a sales position at my company. The reason I call him creepy is because halfway through the interview, he starts telling me all kinds of personal information about myself - I have a preschooler and an iPad, and some involvement with a video game website. Apparently Captain Creepy did a search for my name and found my Twitter profile, which I only use once in a great while.

Even though my job title is "director of business development" (basically a fancy title for a sales position) I somehow ended up with the role of Recruiter at my company also. Since the job market has been in the shitter the last couple years, every time I post a job listing I need to spend a good portion of my day filtering through the hundreds of resumes that hit my desk.

I'm a World War II buff. I love WWII movies, shows like Band of Brothers and the occasional documentary series on History or BBC. Yesterday when my wife called me to tell me her water broke, I was excited because it's the anniversary of D-Day.

I got the call at about 2:00, and things progressed slowly until the early evening. The doctor said it may not happen until after midnight but by 10:15, it was determined that it's time.

A couple weeks back I asked for some suggestions to remove paint from a large woodstove pipe that runs through an upstairs room. I had a number of responses and though I ended up procrastinating the project for a bit, I ended up using your suggestions.

BEFORE:

Three years ago, when my son was still an infant, he projectile-shat liquid baby dookie all over me at 4 in the morning when I was only wearing boxers. Today was a worse day.

I travel extensively across New England for work. Today I started my normal business travels on the way to meet with a prospective client. This particular client (a business) is a partnership of two multi-billion dollar companies that you east-coasters definitely have used at some point in the past. In sales terms, a deal this lucrative is called a whale.
