Technically, tomorrow is my last day at the Bank, but today is actually the last day I am here (my boss was supposed to be in today for me to turn in my laptops and badges and stuff, so I figured I wouldn’t come in tomorrow. As it happens, he’s not going to be here today anyway, but I’m still not coming in tomorrow).
Thinking it would take a few days for the requests to go through, my boss put in the “shut off access” requests yesterday. Well, they already got my email turned off, so I really have nothing to do. I am killing time until this afternoon, so that I can go to the bar and meet co-workers for my going-away happy hour. I am going to get my hair cut at noon, so that will take some time off my hands.
Bored bored bored.

so THIS is why i just got a linked in invite from you. :)
and apparently i thought i was bored this morning, so i made an account. we’ll see if i actually use it, though… just another network on the list.
I’ve been updating mine today with all my soon-to-be ex co-workers. It seems like it’s used pretty extensively at my new place, though. In fact, that is how they initially found me. So I’m a LinkedIn success story, which is why I’ve been encouraging people I know to participate in it (and most importantly, to have their profile set up with resume-type information). That is, assuming said people are possibly interested in new opportunities.
Also, since I know I’m going to be hiring someone in the next month or two, I wanted to get my network going properly so I can leverage it for that use as well.
ahhh. not a bad idea, and sounds like it actually DOES work when it comes to the networking thing. of course, i just got this job and think i’m set for awhile, but you’re right — it’s probably a great tool in that respect.
well then, maybe soon you won’t be my only friend. :)

It does seem to be pretty popular. I think I even have an account somewhere… at least I remember my husband encouraging me to do that, and me sort of unenthusiastically agreeing. I’m not likely to be looking for a job any time soon, but my employers are always looking for good people, so I guess it wouldn’t hurt to be linked in, in case I run across someone I could recommend.

Hmmm… apparently I never did join LinkedIn before. So I have now. Wow, Matt, you have a lot of contacts.
