Dammit LinkedIn!!!

So I was on my LinkedIn page and I went to see who in my gmail address book was also already on LinkedIn.

It autochecked everyone in my address book, and I clicked on the "uncheck all" box. Then I selected three friends who already had accounts and told it to send them invites to be connected.

^%$#!*()& emailed EVERYONE in my gmail address book. EVERYONE. And you know how gmail keeps track of like everyone you've ever sent an email to.

So yeah, my carpet fixing guy, the fake flower people in Florida and Thailand, EVERYONE.

All I can say is THANK GOD that last week I actually went through and got rid of contacts I no longer want any contact with or who never knew to begin with and were only in there because of a reply all. 

And the LinkedIn fun continues...

I've been having quite a few back and forth e-mails with the poor souls in my gmail account who got my invite to join my network.

5 of which have been with a Service Magic customer service representative...Good Lord....

I also accidentally got my future mother-in-law to join my network. Yup, she created a profile just for me.

I'm almost afraid to check my gmail now... the "congrats, you're now connected to..." e-mails keep coming in.
