Awkward

So...I just got a facebook friend request from the person that interviewed me a few weeks ago! He sent me an email earlier today saying that they've just been really busy and I am definitely still in the running for the job. Uh, I guess I'll just let him see my limited profile because I can't really deny him...

Because of this, I decided to check my privacy settings. It turns out everything was set for "friends of friends" to see my profile (we have 2 friends in common)?! When did that happen? I know I did not set that myself, ever. At the most I would have set it so that "networks and friends" can see my profile. Wow, Facebook, I don't know how you did it (maybe added more options and just defaulted to that?), but that's pretty sneaky. Myspace is already closed off to only my friends, and then my blog is sometimes even more limited (especially this one). I'm not worried about that.

I am worried that he saw that picture of me doing crack with those hookers, though. How embarrassing! Oh wait, there's no evidence of that. Phew. I don't think I have anything incriminating on there, then, but it makes me uncomfortable. What if this guy despises...I don't know, Elf or The Colbert Report? What if he hates dancing, bungee-jumping taiko players even more?! Then I'm screwed. I guess I wouldn't want to work for anyone that hated those things, anyway. I still am very conscious of keeping my work life and my social life separate, though, so I'd rather just "deny" this guy. Any suggestions?

I don't think it'll do any harm to add him as your friend. It's not like you have a sketchy background or anything. You can just give him limited access if that'll make you feel better.
