Now I'm getting 'invitations' to join people on Linkedin. These are from people I hardly remember from the dim and distant past. Thinking I might be missing out on something, I took a look.
Now if these 'friends' think that I can somehow improve their professional career, then they are surely deluded. As they obviously have my email address, then it would be nice if I actually heard from them once in a while. You know, just a quick hello, how's it going, what you up to, that sort of thing.
I do have friends, but they're real ones that appear in my life from time to time. They usually keep in touch by the old fashioned method of telephony, we talk, go places, do things for each other etc. If they want a reference, or help with a job, then they only have to pick up the phone and ask. And they will do the same for me if asked.
