No dice

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

So somewhere in the area of 8 months ago I setup a “job search agent” on Dice.com. I was having it send me the IT jobs that were being listed in the Columbus area, since I was thinking about doing some job searching. (It has been put off until next year) Only the search agent never actually sent me anything and I forgot about it. About a month ago, all of the sudden, these emails started showing up in my inbox every day. Well I don’t really care about this job search agent anymore so I went and turned the search agent off at the dice website. They still kept coming. I used Mailwasher to bounce the messages back to dice, they still keep coming….

Finally I went and deleted my profile entirely today, maybe now they’ll stop coming?

    Playing catch up after being gone for the funeral. Hundreds of items in Bloglines to look at, dozens of emails to answer, a few work issues that need resolved immediately, probably a handful of podcasts to get caught up on, etc. I’m still glad I was able to go be with Angela and her family…
