Kraptacular day? Vent here...

[AF4iK]

Today's been an irritating day since the moment I woke up so thought I'd vent a bit on the straw that broke the camel's back. LinkedIn.

Goddam I hate this ******* company's solicitation policy! I've been receiving and ignoring LinkedIn invites for years. As of late though, they seem to have adopted the extremely annoying strategy of retaining the email addresses of invitees and subscribing them to a list where they are subjected to continual harrassment asking them to sign up. Without permission of course. Today, I got yet another spam mail from them and saw that I have to click a link which takes me to LinkedIn's website where I must actively unsubscribe. Why the hell should I have to unsubscribe?? For a company that puts itself out there as a tool for "professional" business people, this is very un-professional behaviour that no workplace would tolerate.

So anyway, I unsubscribed but realized that this would only be a temporary measure before I'm inevitably invited again. So I sent LinkedIn an email ranting and raving like a lunatic as I'm doing now. To their credit, someone named "Vicki" responded to me several hours later apologizing. After trying to sell their services one last time she gave me the option of blocking my email address forever from their system.

I know, boo hoo cry me a freakin river... lol like I said, I'm just in a ****** mood today. And why the hell am I getting spam to my internal office extension now!? RRRRRGGGGHHHYYYYAAAARRRRRRSMASH!!!
