ooooo laaaa ooo laaaa and other eerie type music here.....
I understand anyone and everyone can be anything and everything they want to be. And they can stand up on their lil feetsies and be big boys and use big boy words and junk. I laugh. I truly do.
I play spades online from time to time with my girlfriend while I am at work. And in yahoo spades you can choose your lil icon and be whatever you want. It makes me laugh all the time at the ignorance of some online users. My girlfriend always uses a crazy avatar and I always use the white girl one. She's a black female and I'm a hispanic female and we still get the ding dongs that want to call her a male, me a *racist word here*, and so forth. I love it. We are gay so it amuses me even more at the male related put downs.
Where was I going with this post? I'll tell ya. Yesterday I was making a decision on a freelancer to use for one of my sites and I was doing some searches on one of the users. I came across their profiles on diff sites and while they were similar...they were not always the same, lol. Sometimes she had 2 kids, sometimes 4, sometimes working on this degree, sometimes that one.....And while those really don't have any bearing on the project...I wondered why she would have the differences. I mean it was like literally the words were the same but small changes [number of kids, degrees, accomplishments].
How do you truly know if someone you find online is qualified for what you are looking for....sigh. I picked someone else...hopefully they will deliver! =P
