Wednesday Morning
Hi all,
Not much happening here in the last two days, Mom is coming back from Banff in a few hours so I have to go pick her up. Have a chat with her on the way home and from that pick up some dinner fixes so I can grill tonight. Today and yesterday we are having record breaking weather, 30 C, so it is pretty warm. Last night Roanna & I sat out on the balcony and had dinner and played a few games. We were out there until about 9ish, then came in to watch a bit of the boob tube.
I read an interesting article during breakfast, they were talking about how employers are now using search engines on potential employee's. So in a nutshell they were saying becarefull what you blog or post in your website, because basically this could come back and bite you on the butt. They had the usual spectrum of interviewie's one who didn't care what a company did, and the other who had a myspace.com page, who restricted all but his close friends to his site.
This kinda makes me think, if you want to know this info, why not ask, of course it does work both ways these days, who doesn't google or yahoo search a potential company. Though you must admit you would probably not find a picture of uppermanagement dancing naked on the table at last years christmas party on the corporate website. Neither would you find any negative company information on that site to.
I think the next job interview I get, I have come to one conclusion. I want to look the interviewer square in the eye, and ask "Does your management team every use this type of sentence during staff meetings... We are not the highest paying company but we take care of our employees."
Any how, there are a few confusing thoughts from me.

I understand what you mean about being googled for anything you've written, etc. We can br tracked by our cell phones, they listen to our phone calls and the Eye in the Sky is always watching. It feels like Logan's Run or one of those old sci-fi novels. Anyway....good pictures of your Mom and Roanna's mom, and nature snaps. I love robins. But you can have all your Canadian Geese back. Nasty things, hehehe
