It's shameful. I had to make my Instagram private, because I had a recruiter texting me and noting I was at Disneyland, suggesting I could get in touch while in line for rides.

That is simultaneously both awesome and creepy.

I'm struggling to find the "awesome" part.

I've been harassed on Instagram by people asking me to update an open source project I let go of five years ago. While it may seem neat and flattering, the reality is that it's incredibly disturbing.

I once raised a support ticket for a public SaaS printer that wasn't printing a resume. Not too long after, the tech on the other end tried to recruit me. Lesson learned to never use public printers.

I don't know, if they're managing your private life this well (I mean what they wrote is pretty credible: perhaps getting a better job while you're on vacation is a great use of your time standing in line at disneyland) I would give them the benefit of the doubt and see how they are at managing my career for me.

I mean, what -- after all that work, are they going to get back to me with bad offers? (worse than the place I'm staying)? Doesn't make much sense to me. . . .

Vacation is a time to stop thinking about work.
