LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a virtual business network that anybody who is somebody in the business world is supposed to belong to.

Personally I am more for irl contacts, and so skeptical to these type of networks. Nevertheless, one time I registered on this and have never since logged on.

And unlike Xing, who drives me absolutely bananas sending unimportant emails every week that I delete as spam, LinkedIn has been modest and not bothered me. Until today.

Got an email saying 4 people wanted to add me to their network. One was a person here in Switzerland that I know, she's in the beginning of her career and this network might possibly benefit her going forward. Not through me though.

One was a guy I think I worked with many years ago in Holland. His name was kinda familiar.

One guy I never heard of.

And the last one was a guy I was in love with 15 years ago. He was married at the time, which I knew and didn't bother about, his problem. But we had a fall-out and even though it took me some time to get over it, I did. And now he wants to be my friend on LinkedIn! Hahaha. What a joke. Don't think so pal. If you haven't contacted me in 15 years, I don't think I want to help you businesswise. But I think he wants to get in touch again, ulterior motive. Good thing I can read between the lines.

Now I just gonna have to remember the password so that I can reject him. Will feel good.
