- Think YOU'VE got a personality complex? I'm a software engineer who majored in marketing.
- Think YOU'VE got a phobia about failing? I wrote a book on developing for Google Glass. And tech edited another on Hailstorm.
- Think YOU'VE got self-confidence issues? I had a run of 7 straight rejections by companies in the Fortune 500.
- Think YOU'VE got reservations about flexing your certifications? I held a MCP in FrontPage.
- Think YOU'VE got paranoia about your degree? My MBA's from the University of Phoenix.
- Think YOU'RE a glutton for punishment? I - Think Android Content Providers are a good idea.
- Think YOU'VE got a confusing skill set? A hiring manager told me I was "too passionate about technology to work here at Microsoft".
- Think YOU'VE got issues with intellectual property? I was given a cease-&-desist order for the first domain I registered.
- Think YOU'VE got false bravado? I had over 400,000 followers on Google+.

While all of these are hilarious quips and great social ice breakers, they're all 100% true. Enjoy your day. ;)

    @Benutzername Ha! Well, I'm fortunate in that my hist outweigh my misses (in volume), but these ARE some pretty egregious facepalm moments. I wear 'em with pride. (I've got no choice.) :p

    400k followers may sound impressive, but how many blowjobs is that actually?

    I like the list, but am waiting for the marketing line about how to get lots of followers on youtube. ;-)

    I still have a phobia about my degree though. Mine was from ITT Tech. I valued the experience, but they shut down the place. So mine is from a place that doesn't even exist anymore.

    @kescherRant Well, to be fair, I got added to the Suggested User List after I did a live show on Hangouts, when one of the participants was a Google community manager for the platform. It was a productive, positive session, so she pushed me up the chain.

    For 3 weeks, anyone who signed-up for any Google account (Gmail, Gsuite, etc.) was recommended my dorky ass. It was...an experience.

    @Demolishun No shame there, dude. I've known and have worked with a handful of ITT Tech grads...all were top-notch. Well trained, knowledgeable and friendly.

    @Fast-Nop Metaphorically? Quite a bit. Share the right post at the right time to the right circle with juuuuuuust the right bit of attitude, and you get lots of action (i.e., shares, comments and +1s). ;)
