Creating a society/order?
Sir William:
Nothing wrong with the ninja pic, man. At least he took the time to take a look at the corporate website!
Sir Edward:
I sometimes think employers take the myspace pages and the like too seriously. Many people put up pictures from Halloween parties and the like that are meant to be funny simply because of how out-of-character they are. It's not generally a good indicator of how good of an employee the person will be. The "odd" ones aren't always the problem. As they say, the problem with psychopaths is that they look just like everyone else. :)
Sir William:
Yea, the nude bandmembers with instruments isn't even original; Lita Ford did it - don't know if it was an album cover but I remember he looking especially hot with a guitar pointed south, and nothing else. Heh.
Sir Patrick:
--- Quote ---I had to interview someone at work for a position. Young guy. I walked into the room, shook his hand and said "Hello, I'm James". And his reply? "Hey, you're the ninja guy!". I stuttered something incoherent and sat in shock the rest of the interview.
--- End quote ---
A perfect example of what I'm talking about. In the internet age, the line between your business and private lives is blurred. I'm not on Facebook or anything like that because it frankly creeps me out when people I barely know/don't know at all come into the office and comment about how much fun I seemed to be having at such and such event (I'm not on Facebook, but that doesn't stop my friends who are from tagging me in the photos on their accounts). >:( By necessity, I need to keep a certain distance between myself and some of the people I work with/interact with, and the internet is making that increasingly difficult. I wish to make it very clear that in no way do I regard the Order as some "dirty little secret" or anything like that. I just can't be the "ninja guy" when I'm working ;)
SirNathanQ:
Being a teenage armour geek
Disadvantages= tiny budget, no job, cannot drive self to museums containing armour, having to approve all medieval-flavored purchases with parents, not being able to mount swords, polearms, or armour on the wall (at the expense of the ghost of Christmas photos past :D) and high school sports competing with campaign (renn faire) season!
Advantages= not caring about my hobby being very public. Go ahead. Search Nathan Quarantillo on google images. See what you find. About 4 pages of medieval-flavored goodness, thats what!
Although I don't really see anything wrong with this hobby as far as making us look "irresponsible" really, if I were an employer, I'd be stoked that my employees uphold chivalry (less likely to be dishonest, probably nicer to people, ect)
