Employers certainly do that-last week, my daughter told me about a classmate getting her resume out there-to the private sector-in anticipation of graduation. It seems she had indulged in some nonsense with a (now ex) boyfriend at a website that involved nude/seminude posing, risque conversation, etc, but nothing hardcore.

She was confronted with a printout of some of her stuff by a potential employer, told she was not on the short list, and thanked for her interest in the company-she was mortified. My daughter said mom I had to slap my forehead and say WTF did you expect? She just looked blank-didn’t understand at all-thought it was just harmless fun and didn’t see why it should affect her being in the public eye as groundwater safety technician who provides in-service training to well drillers-who are mostly MEN-duh!

Wow. Clueless.

My daughter used to spend time on FB, when she had an office job.....I told her she should stop, cold turkey. She ended up taking one job and found out that she had mutual friends on FB with the owner’s daughter who was the office manager.
Small world, best to not have an account.

Add to short list of things NOT bigger in Texas:

Convenience stores.

Y’all need some Sheetz or WaWas. More than once I stopped for a diet Dew and the place didn’t have any.
