The Age of Electronica

C'mon people. "Confidentiality" is the numero uno tenet in our professional code! The cult formerly known as Facebook isn't confidential so quit posting work-related shit there. And stop checking it when you're in the off chair, or I"m going to rip your smartphone out of your hands and crush it. With any luck you'll have just updated your page to read, "I'm teaming with a real bitch." Which would make me happy to have a reason to grieve your unprofessional ass.

Get a professional email address, as well. "Cutiepatootie" or "Hotchick" or "I'm so fucking great"or "My Kids Rock" or any of the bazillion other cutsie monikers are incredibly unprofessional. How about trying "" or your initials at whatever domain dot com? As someone who has the responsibility to coordinate on occasion, those cutsie names of yours are off-putting and make me not want to hire you. Talking to other coordinators let's me know that I'm not the only one. Keep the cutsie, silly ones, sure. But stop using them for professional correspondence.

Stay off your iPhone, cell, smarphone, or other mobile crack addiction when you're working with me. Turn it to silent mode, and pay attention to the job you're on now.

The longer I'm in this field the shorter my list gets of those individuals that I would be willing to work with, for, and around.
