2 Predictions & 1 Other Thought

Very rarely will you find me discussing politics on this blog because politics does not bring me joy.  I am unable to think of a politician alive whom I trust.

However, I stumbled across something very interesting and thought I would share it with you.

I am putting on my  Michel de Nostradame (usually Latinised to Nostradamus according to Wikipedia) hat and predict who will be elected president in November.

Before I reveal my prediction, I just want to assure you I used the most cutting edge research available -

LinkedIn.

(Hey, I am willing to bet it is more accurate than those telephone polls.)

Profiles

I checked both candidates LinkedIn profiles and found:

  • 3 connections are connected somehow, someway to President Obama.
  • 91 of my connections are connected one way or another to Mitt Romney.

2 Predictions

Therefore based on this very scientific evidence,

Mitt Romney will be elected President of the United States of America in November. 

Since the number of connections are so lopsided, that tells me:

His victory will be a land slide. 

You heard it here first folks.

My prediction makes Rommie happy.  She has a new motto:

Rommie Fur Romney

Other Thought:  Did anyone ever call Michel de Nostradame “Michelle ma belle?”

( To my new readers, I do have a weird, twisted, sick sense of humor.)

Michele’s LinkedIn Update – A Positive Post

I updated my LinkedIn profile nothing unusual about that, I tweak it everyone in a while.   What I changed was my summary section.   I put a statement that hopefully will help positively reorient people’s perception of widows.

The “W” Word

Yes, it was a gutsy move to put the word widow on LinkedIn as it will scare some prospective employers.  But if the word “widow” scares them, is that a company worth working for?  I doubt it.

My Prayer

I pray that what put will amount to a paradigm shift in peoples thinking.  I know it was an “Ah-Ha” moment when I one day realized a letter was missing in widow.

So what did I put in my LinkedIn summary?

~~ I am a widow who is really a window of opportunity. ~~

Polonius On LinkedIn

This above all: to thine ownself be true,

And it must follow, as the night the day,

Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Polonius

Hamlet Act 1 Scene 3

William Shakespeare

The other day someone looked at my LinkedIn profile and all that showed was “Anonymous LinkedIn User.”

Hey!

What about all the talk I hear from different people stating:

  • Be yourself
  • Be authentic
  • Be relational
  • Tell the truth

How is having your LinkedIn profile set to “Anonymous LinkedIn User” being authentic, being relational, being yourself and telling the truth?

If you are George Clooney I can understand why you need an Anonymous profile, but odds are you are not George.

I know it is Halloween but don’t hide behind a mask.  Take a chance and let the world see you in all your wonderful glory, even on your LinkedIn profile.

To thine ownself and everyone else – be true.

You just might find some joy in it.
