immigrant kills six, blames website model

Egad, THAT was weird. This dude named George who lives in my building just rang and knocked and rang again and finally roused me from my nap. I went to the door, and in very broken English he asked me if I worked at Yale. I said yeah, and he said he had applied to work on the groundskeeping crew or somesing, and he wondered if I could help him. I said, well, I don't know what I could really do--I work at the press and don't even hire people where I work, much less anywhere else, but if he really wanted to he could put me down for a reference. The only contact I've had with him is when he helped me move some furniture more than four years ago, but you know, whatever . . . So he's like, "Yeah, I put in the application online, and it give me the paper . . . here, I'll show you . . ." And he goes upstairs and gets a printout of a confirmation page that says they'll keep his information on file, blah blah blah . . . And finally he says, "When I put in the website, I see your picture . . ."

OHHHHHHH. Now I get it. Sorry, but I don't work in HR. I was just taking a typing test that day, and they snapped my picture, dude.

What a country.

GAH I hate those university website photos---there was one of me at a conference on the U of MD law school website---it was taken at the exact moment I was stuffing a slice of pizza in my mouth---thankfully it was taken down this year.
