I have just received an email from a headhunter regarding employers checking references to potential candidates online, in MySpace and the like and everywhere else. I did a quick search for my full name and surprise, surprise.... it popped up in the BBC Forum, in a newspaper in my home country of Romania as well as on some sites I used for job hunting last year. Not just my name, but also my full address, just as it was in my resume. Needless to say, I got a bit worried and have started a process of purging the web of my details :)

Now as far as Tribe goes, I don't tend to post any rude, insensitive or inflammatory comments. But I am a member of some political tribes and since my name is fairly recognizeable, I decided to change it on Tribe also.

Except for the fact that I did not do it myself. Mr Pug wanted me to be Mrs Pug and when I hesitated, he simply renamed me with the name of his favourite cat, Tia Maria.

Awww....
