Trinity...amazingly true.
I have probably told this story several times over the years but not in the past couple.
About a year after I quit my job someone on here I think mentioned "googling yourself" and so I did it. I actually googled my real name. To my complete and utter horror, I popped up. Not in such a lame way as a phone book either. Not on here, not on any message board. I never used my real name online.
No...there I was with my real name, my real address and my real home phone number. All attached to a letter to an editor that I wrote but never sent and it was printed in a paper in the northern part of my state. Nowhere that I have ever lived or even heard of the paper!
The article was a scathing retort at our governors decision to cut back on funding for fraud investigators in social services.
The only thing I can think of is that when I left the job, my ex-coworkers took that letter out of the trash one day and copied it and sent it to someone else in social services and they had it printed and put my name to it instead of theirs. I certainly didnt send it!
Its not there now. I kept checking for years because of my phone number being on it. That bothered me most of all. What I said was the truth.
Kind of odd though. I cant get a nice letter to the editor printed in my own paper but I get printed in one 4 hours away...lol.
