January term ends on the 29th. In theory, this should be no surprise if you've been studying for your final.

Someone a great deal cooler than me informed me that a lot of you use Instagram to communicate. As someone with a perpetual allergy to social media of any kind (read: snobbery), what will having an Instagram account provide me that having a social media "journal" on this platform can't?

More specifically, I left Facebook due to my inability to keep myself from making acquaintances' great aunts cry over their terrible political opinions. Am I going to have to fight any of you on Instagram? Am I going to be approached by someone working from home who thinks I'd be a great fit for the bottom segment of a pyramid scheme? How are the privacy settings? For those of you still in school: is Instagram sufficiently uncool enough that none of my students are on it?

Thank you for any information you can provide.

A lot of companies don't want you to represent them in a way that may give them bad press. Even if you don't think you're representing them at all. If your profile doesn't say where you work, you use a fake name, and never post anything that can come back to you or your job, you're probably fine.

Probably.

I've got certain levels of clearance that I have to abide by additional rules for, unfortunately.

	There you go again, being vague. Does that typically work to arouse or quell invasive questions? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It doesn't work any better than "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." With my line of work, even though I consider myself partially retired, means it's a bunch of stuff I can't talk about, but I can tell you that I can't talk about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I had to assume that you were intentionally trying to raise my curiosity, or else you had to be terrible at your job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're a Salazar. Curiosity comes with the blood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're not wrong. Although I suspect your baby could give any of us a run for our money. You're in trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Speaking of not being wrong. Just don't let him hear you call him a baby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Right, I suppose he wouldn't appreciate that anyone under the age of 26 looks like a baby to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	More a hazard of working with students. (Reply to this) (Parent)
