If you got tagged in this note, keep reading...
So ABC News released this article about 'white' names and 'black' names, and how different employers will hire you if you have a 'white sounding name'. Here is an excerpt of the article
The resumes with the white-sounding names were actually downloaded 17 percent more often by job recruiters than the resumes with black-sounding names.
So, for the information of these present, here is a list of the top 'black' sounding names, and the 'white'. As you can see, my name is at the top of the 'black.' That's why women and people who's names might be non-traditionally 'white' should always put their first initial and their last name on resumes. It keeps an air of ambiguosity about your sex and race. Enjoy!

| So thats whassap |
Freaking hate Moody Library.
So I get to Moody to edit my PM1 project, and I realize I left my hard drive in my room. So I go back to the room, get the hard drive, and set down my bag because it is hot and the bag is too big. I go back to Moody, then realize that in the bag that I sat down was my Firewire cable, so I hike back to Pen island and get that. Then I sweat all the way back and to my chagrin, the lab that I need is now filled with a backpacking class. WTHECK? WHy do backpackers need computers! They don't, and the class didn't even use them. I was highly upset.
I turned it in, and it wasn't all that bad. Thanks to those who helped, including Jackie Woodward, Tim Clarky, Vic Oke, all yall.
I'm on call tonight, that is not cool. So come say hey. |

| The Freaky Deaky Fifth Grade Twins Story |
This is how the story goes;
I have a friend named Shane Keller. We are friends on AOL Instant Messenger.
One day I get an IM from someone. Hee is how the email went:
kneeboard: hey do you know trey hanley?
me: no, who is this?
kneeboard: lol, omg this is lysette
me: wtheck are you talking about?
kneeboard: I have to go now, brb bye
So, like three days later I get an IM from the same person:
kneeboard:hey, so do you know trey?
me: who is trey?
kneeboard: he is my friend...i got his buddy list and you're on it, lol
*i have no idea who this person is, but the name "trey hanley" sounds vaguely familiar. I do a facebook check. None.*
kneeboard: what grade r u in?
me: oh, I'm a sophomore. What year are you?
kneeboard: im in the fifth grade
*at this point I'm like WHATS GOIN ON? Then I realize...*
me: are you from Coppell?
Then all the pieces come together. My friend Shane has a little brother named Trey. Trey is mischevious and hacked his AIM, and then gave it out to his little friends.
Unfortunately for me, Lysette has a twin sister named Lynette, and they tag team me (no, not in that way, you perv). They each have a computer, apparnetly next to each other, and they both IM me from the respective screen names, and IM me all hours of the night.I finally block them. And thats the freaky deaky fifth grade twins story. |
