Internets and real world collide.
One of my new clients is StumbleUpon a website Maggie introduced me to a long time ago that has served as a fantastic way to waste my afternoons away at work and/or home, finding some of the weirdest and most interesting sites on the web. I was, of course, giddy with excitement upon learning that I had the chance to work with the people responsible for it, but I wanted to keep my composure.
But, while introducing myself as their Account Manager, any hope I ever had of coming off as a level-headed and relentlessly cool professional went down the drain as soon as they mentioned that my work e-mail was linked to my StumbleUpon account. This means they could see all my settings and preferences as well as list of Favorite Sites, including an inordinate amount of pictures of dogs water skiing and bears dressed as firemen.
Oyy.
