Ignored LinkedIn invitations, in ascending order of hurt feelings.
 
1. That guy from law school who annoys you, but who is a good friend of a good friend.

2. Former work colleague.

3. Former work colleague who you used to mentor.

4. Former work colleague whose hair you complimented (hypothetical example).

5. Former boss.

6. Imaginary internet friend(s).

7. Client.

8. Client who looked at your profile on the same day you sent her the invite.

9. Mom.

I admit I am a loser at Linked In and ignore more invites than I accept for no good reason. I mean, sometimes I ignore for a good reason and sometimes I ignore for reasons that have to do with the fact that you sent me the invitation while I was really busy with some super fucking important shit. Or I was stoned. Or receiving fellatio. Or stoned and receiving fellatio, and it's like super awkward to hand the still smoking bong to the chick blowing you so you can accept the Linked In invitation from the chick you maybe went to law school with or maybe she is a friend of a colleague but she is kind of hot so why not. Anyhoo, why would you Link In with your mom? I mean, aren't you already pretty linked in with her, lower case l and i? Are you checking out her profile and thinking, wow, mom has added some new skills, and I didn't know she was an Ivy Leaguer. Also, colleagues. Oh great, dude who has the office next to me. You want to Link In with me. Maybe we can make some professional connections, now. I mean, you now, professional connections other than the fact that WE WORK AT THE SAME FIRM AND YOUR OFFICE IS NEXT TO MINE. You want to Link In with me. Walk ten feet and come talk to me. I promise you will learn more in three minutes than you will studying my lame ass profile for hours. And hey, chick I fucked a couple of times a long time ago? Can you explain to me why the pros of Linking In with you outweigh the cons? I didn't think so.

Glad to see that you didn't take it as a passive-aggressive rebuke. It really was more of a cri de couer.

The client one really bothers me, though. (Not Kidding.) Does this mean I won't be getting any more cases from her? Was she pissed about the result in the MacGillicuddy case? Does she have me confused with a different Not Bob?

I swear that it is enough, Flower, to make me question myself.

I just want to say if you expect me to endorse your skills in anything other than typing quickly, you should be careful to type "know" when you mean "know" instead of now. I'm linked to GCs from most of the Fortune 100 and you reflect on me.

Are there any interactions that you have with sentient beings that do not fall into the category of "enough to make you question yourself"? The Linked In cold shoulder may be more acute, but I think you know what I am saying.

Not Bob 10-08-2013 11:02 PM
And how should I presume?

What can I say, Flower? My world is filled with ambiguity and uncertainty. And with women with nice hair who tell me "That is not it at all. That is not what I meant, at all."

Re: Towards A Virtual Williamsburg!
 
today I met Notbob. Can anyone who has met him years ago tell me if the swastika tat is a temp thing from a breaking bad party, or a relic from some youthful mistake? I mean it seems out of character and I really didn't want to ask.

My son's girlfriend's Visa was approved, but the Government shut down before it was issued.

Well that's a black fly in your chardonnay.

The jury pool around here has drifted somewhat further to the Right recently. I make no apologies for being a zealous advocate - do you think David Boies* wears suits from the Garanimals Collection at Sears Roebuck because he likes the fit?

In other news, go see Lake Bell's "In a World ..." Fantastic flick.

*I know, kind of a repeat, and not as elegantly phrased as the original. Consider it the Porky's II of my David Boies ouevre.

Not Bob, I would never suggest you're crazy, but to the extent you are, it's pretty obvious you'll be the guy who sneaks "Venus in Furs" on after the Suzanne Vega on your mix tape.

Nothing to say. Just seconding the reference, as a reminder that Lou was once a genius. (Before he decided to garble lyrics over Metallica like some staggering cirrhotic janitor wandering into rehearsals.)

Well, I think we have found something we can all agree upon (except Hank's son); (semicolon alert!) this INS service is non-essential.
