Meet the Prankster Brothers Behind “Jenny”, the Whiteboard-Using, Farmville-Exposing HPOA Girl

...Today, our favorite job quitter is “Jenny” — “a girl” who left her job by sending co-workers a series of photos where she uses a whiteboard to insult her boss and expose his fondness for Farmville.

We know that the Steve Slater story is true. But what about Jenny’s story?

Almost certainly made up...

I’d hire it.

I’m on Facebook and am continually amazed at the people who send posts of their Farmville exploits to all their “friends”. One person in particular (my former fiancee) is an especially heinous offender. I could block it, but it provides me a daily reminder of how luck I am NOT to have married her.

lol.

I got tired of FV rather fast.

I drop by my Social City once a day or so.

I have next to no idea what farmville is about, but a girl I went grammar school with induced me to join facebook and she was my first facebook friend. After being on about about three months half my posts were her farmville exploits, so I just “hid” her.

What is farmville about, anyway?

I don't know and I don't want to know, but I'm on Facebook too and a lot of people seem to be playing it.

I don't need anymore e-distractions.
Facebook seems narcissistic and is most certainly a security risk.

I enjoyed it but I had my doubts that it was true. Photo 25 when she ponders what sites Spencer visits looked too professional to be just a one or two-person job. I thought the lighting also looked too professional.

But it was still good for a laugh. I chuckled all afternoon about the “DiSpencer”.

The clues that this was produced include:

Jenny too good looking/appealing for chance.

The glasses/hair up-----> no glasses/hair down cliche.

That it was only at one web site (if it had been emailed to 20 people, it would have popped up all over the place).

Anybody else see clues in retrospect?

Be very careful of Facebook. I was hacked a few weeks ago by someone in Nigeria. I lost all of my contacts but get this. Those people wanted me to send them a copy of my driver's license to get it back. I lost my email account until a few days ago. Everyone in my address book got an email saying I was stuck down in London and needed money. What a mess. Be very careful!

Read my post number 10.

Yeah I got on of those e-mails from my aunt. Interestingly enough, the “hotel” she was allegedly staying at was in reality a bar with the word “Inn” in the name. I found that out just by using google.
