Things you shouldn't put on the internet

A while back, the fiance was conducting interviews for an assistant position at his company. They received many resumes, so in a fit of nosey boredom, the fiance googled the names of each person applying. One of the girls had her own website. Fabulous, a way to find out a little about her before her interview. One part of her site was a blog-type diary. The current entry was entitled "I love to pick my nose". The curious fiance clicked on it. Before him appeared several paragraphs dedicated to this girl's love of nose picking. Apparently she likes to pick her nose in her house, at the grocery store and in her car among other places. She likes it when people see her picking her nose, because she likes the way that they get all freaked out and uncomfortable. Needless to say, the fiance did not hire this girl. The lesson here, dear readers, is that in this world of snoopy people and internet technology, one should not put facts about themselves on the web that would make interviewers not want to shake your hand.

In related news, a man applied for a web design-type position at OC's company. Included as part of his resume was a sample site that he had created. It was basically a children's book as a webpage. The main character was a squirrel. The mission of the squirrel was to learn how to "squirt". I don't know about you, but I don't know of any squirting squirrels. In any case, when the squirrel finally learns how to squirt, he proceeds to run around the forest squirting on everything. He squirts on trees, he squirts on other squirrels, he squirts on bunnies...you get the picture. Some of OC's colleagues thought that it might be a misguided potty training story. I may just have a dirty mind but...
