I am such an ass. And Reunion.com is kind of an ass too.
Can I blame sleep deprivation for what just happened? Some woman I used to work with, Robin, sent me an invitation to connect on "Reunion.com."
What the heck, I thought, I'll put my name up there, so Robin can connect with me.
So while bouncing Baby V in her bouncy seat next to me, I hastily typed in my relevant information and hit submit.
Then it asked for my e-mail password. GOD I'm an idiot. I typed that sucker right on in there and Reunion.com just sent an e-mail to EVERYONE I'VE EVER E-MAILED saying, "Mama wants to connect with YOU on Reunion.com!"
God, that looks so desperate and weird, when I think of the thousand (YES, thousand) people it's now going to... The people with whom I parted on BAD TERMS, like ex-boyfriends, and ex-friends for that matter. The bazillion vendors I've corresponded with. My husband. Old babysitters. Just... everyone. GOD I FEEL SO STUPID.
Maybe there will be a silver lining. Maybe someone will be touched and think I personally sought them out to connect with them and it will brighten their day.
But mostly I feel like the biggest, most hasty idiot in the world.

And to heighten the idiocy, my gmail.com account is now BLOCKED because when I tried to send an e-mail out to everyone to warn them not to respond to the invitation, it flagged me as a spammer! Now I can't e-mail anyone for at least 24 hours...
Wow. How sneaky and incredibly rude of Reunion.com. Q let me know that whenever a site asks for your actual email password, only bad things can happen. I had no idea, either, so don't feel like an idiot. I accidentally signed us up for all kinds of spam during NaBloPoMo.
I was actually very, very crushed that it WAS a mistake....I was feeling very popular since my evite to the movies only generated 2/20!
Just think, it could have been a whole lot worse! (those lovely animal/human sex email invites!)Welcome back, you were SO missed!
Let's have a reunion of people who have gotten spam-attacked by reunion.com!
aw, and I was feeling so special, to have someone who can walk to my house also want to connect with me over reunion.com....
hee hee hee
oh no that is the worst! But it explains why I get invitations from weird sites from people I haven't spoken to in years. They were simply duped and not specifically seeking me out. I bet you will get some interesting replies though. Keep us posted.
Reunion.com sent me an e-mail to my gmail account AND a text message to my cell phone. Hmm.
