Currently dealing with the age old question of personal references. Whither personal references? Someone I'm seeing tomorrow wants personal references.

Okay so I've asked my building superintendent. That seems reasonable. She can vouch for me being reliable and trouble-free and pleasant and polite for ~15 years.

Fair enough. But other than that? You really want to call my friends and have them tell you I'm a good guy? That's going to help?

Okay let's do it.

I always hated that concept. So trust some shmo you don't know to tell something about another shmo who you don't know. So the second is somehow more reliable than the 1st.
 
I'll tell you what's a bit unsettling: I am so used to going through life without secrets or being particularly careful about saying what's on my mind - so I keep almost blurting out shit at work like, wot the fok is it with people asking for personal references?

Or other random observations or questions relating to my job search.

Which they don't know is happening.

If you see what I'm saying.

Seriously. I just came this close again.

I was gabbing about how Jenny and I are thinking of splitting a Costco membership, and I started blurted out (but caught myself) - 'It would be good too because there is a Costco RIGHT THERE beside this new job prospect I am feeling good about.'
