Out of boredom, I sometimes find myself Googling myself or my family members every once in awhile. I'm amazed at the number of Strukels that are around the country.
Yesterday, I discovered something that I think you can benefit from. Someone created a fictitious entry of me on a business profile website almost a year ago and listed me as the past Head Custodian at Aurora High School. Now, I did work at Aurora for six years but I sure wasn't the "Head Custodian." I sent an e-mail to the website asking to have my name removed permanently, which the website says will take 24-48 hours.
I'm glad this wasn't something more serious or worse than "Head Custodian." Anyway, it strikes me as funny that someone would waste their time making up a fake profile of me online.
Lesson learned: it doesn't hurt to look for yourself online every once in awhile.

I do that every once in awhile, mainly to see which Cliff Feightner is higher in the hits, me or my distant relative who used to be an executive with Goodyear.
I wonder which student you hacked off over at Auora?
Cliff, I don't think it was a student.
Hilariously sad Dave.
Chris...I think it's a little funny. Having me listed as a Head Custodian belittles the man who actually does the job and does it well.
Struke, it seems to me someone has a lot of free time on their hands to do such a thing. Pretty pathetic that this is the only thing they can find to do with their time. I'm glad the folks at the website are going to fix it for you.
