ATTACK OF THE LINKED-IN ZOMBIES!!: or,

Have You Ever Been Shamed By Your Job Title?

I turned on JM’s mac to look for the lyrics to CSN&Y ‘Love the One You’re With’ and for some reason did the rounds of my inboxes and emails and went to 'Linked in' because I had an ‘email’ reminding me to ‘visit’ to 'meet all your new ‘connections’.. it was like a Zombie bomb had gone off. 22 people wanted to be my ‘friends’.. all of them with some odious job-titles and self-descriptions, like ‘Marketing Professional‘… (I would direct you to Bill Hick’s rant on “marketing people‘ at this juncture). I’m waiting to read one single person’s bio that says Planet-Lover, REVOLUTIONARY!!! Guevarista!! Neo-Bolshevik!!! Even a mangy old Leninist would do. Perhaps… a good-old fashioned deeply thoughtful pseudo-Marxist would be more than welcome aboard. Which reminds me, on Linked in, where it asks Political Persuasion, I must remember to put mine. Anyway.. The names and faces shall be changed to protect the innocents, but the job-titles shall remain to (hopefully) shame them.

I’m going to make a ‘new’ connection. ‘Pierce M-Orgone Energy: Broadcaster’ That will be my newest bud. Worked at: After the Apocalypse: 2000 - Present and ‘Linkedin Zombie Watch: 2011-2012 , Harald Hardrada School of Project Management
