Oh for god's sake ... I think I pulled a Facebook-style please play this game stunt

... on LinkedIN

So it was suggested I set up a profile, and I did, and although I painstakingly went through almost 800 contacts that were pulled in from my cj@thiscrazytrain.com Gmail account, and deselected over a hundred people (including my husband), I believe an invitation to join my newly created network was sent to EVERYONE (sorry!).

What was interesting about the exercise is that I now know where a majority of my haters work, along with photos of what they look like.

You can run but you can't hide?

Of course, other than creeping their profiles, there isn't anything else to gain from this information except to show up at my number one "fan"'s work and tell the receptionist I am there to take Richard out to lunch. Then I would have Richard paged and I'd wait patiently in the lobby for Richard.

    A) that would explain the email.

    and, most importantly, B) You GOTTA do it. Have Richard paged. Oh please. Pretty please. With a cherry on top.

    Then record the mayhem here. So we may all enjoy it.

    I know I could pull it off if I drink half a bottle of Riesling-Gewurztraminer first.

    I was about to get bummed out about not getting an invite but alas, it wound up in my junk folder.

    I'm not on LinkedIn but if I ever join, I'll add you. :)

    If I offer to buy the wine, would that help?

    Funnily enough, Richard works in the same building as me. Crazy, right? But I will not say who he works for. Richard wants to comment real bad on this but Richard is a mean person and he doesn't deserve my kindness. Richard really is a "Dick".
