ambermonk Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 No worries I'm fine. So far nothing's happened since then. Kinda hoping it stays that way TBH.If there's even the slightest hint that she'd be asking for money that's an automatic red flag. But for now I'll just act as though nothing happened and continue about my normal business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usagi Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 actually, if 'she' is in Kenya, that's a whole 'nother ballgame. be wary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambermonk Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) monk, just have a conversation and be done man, take usagi's advice. not every female you encounter is a love interest I'm already well aware of that. But this particular interaction wasn't the norm. Felt like she was pretty much throwing herself at me (sans nudie pix), but probably because she's super lonely. I'm inclined to feel more pity than attachment. Did she mistake FB for a dating service I wonder? Fuckin' weird.. actually, if 'she' is in Kenya, that's a whole 'nother ballgame. be wary. It's a female alright. And she's only in Kenya for week. But still...I'm not taking any more chances. This is why I bring this up in this thread in the first place. My gut says, "yeah, she's cute and is nice enough, but this is still kinda weird." And I appreciate you guys offering input, as awkward as all this is.

luke viia Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) well yeah don't be a fuckin mark but don't work yourself up over conversations with people you've never met either, who cares? it's easy as JBC, OAB. edit: if she's real, lol, and in TN, there's no realistic chance anyway, so just be friendly if that's how you are naturally and meh, that's that.

Makes my life amazingly easier. Haven't used an USB like in years I've been trying to, but I need some of the Office templates for writing lesson plans and some complicated formatting to do academic writing for grad school. I really wish I could just switch to Docs full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candiru Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 That Kenyan girl from facebook was really a spy from Hilary's base trying to figure out this whole social media malarky. Speaking of which, there have been times after I applied for a new job, and in the days leading up to an interview, I get a friend request from some hot European girl. Her profile pic is like, kinda scantily clad but not in a bikini or anything. I never accept the request, because I don't fucking know her, and her only other facebook friends are guys from random states scattered around the U.S. This has happened before more than one job interview and I suspect it's a shitty company's way of spying on your social life to weed out potential candidates.

usagi Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 hard drive is fucking bricked. died in the middle of chkdsk. goddamncuntshitfuckpisshorsecock. I'd backed up a good chunk of it a month ago so it's not a total disaster, and there is a possibility that a tech might be able to replace the failing parts of the drive and get it working enough to salvage the data, but still. lost somw important stuff and now I gotta schlep around trying to get this fixed. also my cat spilt an near-empty mug of tea dregs and leaves while I was asleep and it has turned into a hardened crust on my desk. nice.

I mean I knew that they were interested in candidates social media presence, but that is on an intellectual level, not the visceral one of it actually happening through subterfuge to someone on the board. Even more reason not to use social media that isn't either totally locked down, or anonymous. Mega, should start a g+ type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bechuga Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Sort of first world problem but not for me: both my older and little brother have arranged to get married in the same week, within two days of each other, except in different countries. And there's only two flights a week back from the remote place in Greece my older brother is getting married at, so the timeline's are sorta fucked. The fallout is, as you imagine, rather painful. Both brides to be start crying whenever the topic is brought up, their way of saying 'I'm not changing my date'. But secretly I am giggling inside...

One's getting married on the 24th, the other on the 26th. That means the 25th is free... I had a client once who got scammed twuice by Nigerian 419ers. TWICE! People fly out in person to meet these scammers! And get met at the airport by an armed escort who hold them hostage until every penny of theirs is wired over.

Braintree Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I was in mid-reply to the crystals thread and it got locked. Some of my friends were into that shit for a while. I could do nothing but judge them silently and let the phase pass. It was the first time I felt like a dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
