10:26 am	Number Zero Things have been uncomfortably stagnant around here. I'm still working right under the boss, which protects me from some of the more evil gossip going around. However it still pains me inside to know that my co-workers dislike me! I just want to be generally liked by people. I don't think I'm a bad person and I didn't do anything wrong. They're just jealous of my people finder skills, I guess. And jealousy is so destructive, I'm glad it's not me on that side of the matter. I'm getting worried however because this stack of death records keeps appearing on my desk. A quick look through it confirms that it belongs to members of my family, which freaks me out. I can't do anything about it anyway, I look at death records all the time in my line of work but still, I just want to be liked. That may sound dumb, but it's true. I'm a nice person and I want to be liked. I wish that didn't conflict with my job so much. (Comment on this)

9:57 am	New People Search Drama So life has been free and easy ever since my boss made me his #1 man in the office. It's been so easy for me I almost feel bad about it - almost. Haha, I'm actually lovin' it, though I think some of my ex-coworkers aren't too happy. They totally thought my people search skills would be me fired, not promoted, and now they're hurting with all the extra work. One even took me aside to accuse me of advertising propaganda and getting the boss on my side. Totally not true, but I'll be the bad guy, if that's what it takes. What do I care? It's not my fault the boss picked me to start working on the company's new people search engines. I'm just the best at finding people and that's nothing to sneer at. Though I did feel like my coworkers were being a bit too buddy buddy with each other this morning. I think they all met up at the bar last night but...what did they talk about? Me? I hope not...

7:59 pm	People Search Ticket Up Dang. Things are getting crazy in my life, and it's all due to my propensity to search people. My workload has totally decreased, and my boss has sorta taken me under his wing. I'm now his personal people search guy... not really an assistant, but kinda. I'm sorta his peer, at least I feel like that. He treats me like a friend now. The people searching got me in the door... now I'm in a good place. This is really great, and I'm loving work now. I get to do people searches practically all day, and there's even talk of getting me a personal assistant to focus on my other work, so I can do all the stuff for my boss. Good stuff, huh? And I'm getting paid more. YEAH! One of my other duties is to find my boss hilarious web sites. Nothing he likes more than a good laugh. So here's one that he really liked: Coolio Spin-Offs. My boss is crazy! (Comment on this)

5:16 pm	Redemption!!! Wow. Just wow. I just got out of a four hour meeting with my boss during which I... (wait for it) TAUGHT HIM TO people search!!!! Can you believe that ish!? I know I can't. He basically came to me and was like, "Look, I need to find someone online, and I know you know how to do it fast and without getting caught. At first I thought it was a trick... but then I thought, what the hell, I'll give in. I'm so glad I did. Turns out the guy's got a lot going on at home; he thinks his wife is cheating on him! I taught him how to look some things up and now he's feeling a lot better. It was awesome. Speaking of awesome. This list about Favorite Ulterior Motives is the funniest one I've read yet. But wait... seriously, let's go back to my boss. We were in there forever... just talking about people search and how to find people and use a people search engine, and it was awesome to be able to help him. So awesome. He was so grateful, he gave me this high priced bottle of really high quality fish oil capsules. I have a lot of joint problems and he says that there are a lot of omega 3 benefits in fish oils that can help joints heal. He says in some other countries they even prescribe them for just such a problem. Anyway... I have so much work to do now... and I'm all people searched out, so I'm going to sign off. I just had to get on here and tell you all what had just happened. It was far too good to keep to myself! (Comment on this)

2:34 pm	Finding a Way Around This Okay, I'm hanging by a thin thread now. I can't stop people searching at work. I tell myself every morning that it has to be different, that I can't get sucked into it again, but it always happens. Every single time. I've been taking work home to finish, stuff that I couldn't get to during the day, but then I end up people searching all over again from home. What gives? Any suggestions? Maybe I should just tell you guys how to search people and that will sate me. If this doesn't get me off people searches, maybe losing my job will. It's sad that my ability to find people has warped into an addiction, because I was really good. Maybe a new diet will help? I'm gonna try prescription strength diet. (Comment on this)

3:09 pm	I Suck Yup. I couldn't go cold turkey on the not people search at work. Bad idea. I binged on Friday and just didn't do my work for a whole day. It was really bad. But, I will say that I am doing it a lot less than I was a couple months ago. I only search people online a little bit now. I'm down to just an hour a day! That's a major improvement! I think people are starting to notice though; I'm pretty sure its at the top of the list of staff pet peeves in the office. Yikes. I better get off before I get laid off! (Comment on this)

4:39 pm	Good Behavior! I have been so good about sticking to my New Year's Resolution of not people searching at work! I'm home right now, so it doesn't count. I can't tell you how much more productive I have been since I cut it off cold turkey. My boss has been noticing me a lot more lately and been sending me encouraging emails. I don't think he suspects that I find people at work, but I think he knew I wasn't trying my hardest. I think that was very apparent in my work. I mean, I always completed my work, but I never went above and beyond until now. Now I'm like superworker! I haven't even done a single background check since I got back to work after the holiday break. Speaking of New Year's, check out this list of funny things heard at a New Year's eve party. Very funny stuff you know you've heard before. Anyways, I am going to go make dinner. Be back soon! (Comment on this)

1:00 pm	No more bad habits Well besides people search of course, I mean thats really not a bad habit, only when I people search during work. I have really been working on myself, getting an early start on New Years resolutions! I have managed to stop the nail biting, actually it wasn't all that difficult. I think I only started it with the new job and all. I just had a manicure and my cuticles look simply divine (my words not my co-worker's). I could never admit to a manicure, what kind of man has a manicure? I won't go there! I've also managed to curb my people searching at work, which means I spend more time in front of the computer at home. That said, I want to let you all know about some cool people search sites I found: Background Check find person PremiumHowToGuides.com - How To Background Check Gotta run now, I'm at work and don't want to get caught posting...

9:34 am	More bad habits.... I still have my bad habit of indulging in people search at work. But, now I have discovered a new bad habit about myself. I am a full fledged nail-biter. I never realized this about myself until a co-worker said something. I was working with her on a project and I pointed to the computer screen. She immediately grabbed my wrist to take a closer look. She was horrified at my cuticles (her word, not mine). She told me that nail biting was disgusting, unsanitary, and that I needed to stop. Way harsh. Well, she was right. Now I've made a conscious effort to stop doing it. I didn't realize how hard it would be. It's not as hard as when I quit smoking, but it's pretty bad. Unfortunately, I don't have such self restraint when it comes to finding people. I search people mostly on my lunch break, but I've been kinda bored lately, so I've been doing it more frequently during my work day. Like the other day I couldn't get off this one site, Find Anyone Now, which has these great articles on how to find different kinds of people. I even found an article on how to find a dog trainer! Which was awesome because my roomate has a new puppy and it very much needs to be trained. Anyways, gotta scoot. (Comment on this)

10:07 am	Bad Habit :( I just can't seem to kick this bad habit of people searching. Finding people online isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just takes up too much of my time! And it's not that it really takes that long to find someone, but I just do it all the time. I've even started doing it at work, which is bad. I'm busy at work, but I still do it! I hope my boss doesn't notice my little secret. This is when I am glad that I have a cubicle. If you need to find a person check this Bloglines blog out, because the links in it really helped me find my best friend from kindergarten! Anyways, I gotta get back to it. Check back later!

10:53 am	Finding People in Your Life Finding people in your life is so important. Well, I suppose that is a generalization. It's so important for me, but as you know, I have a rather special situation. I've become even more obsessed (as if that was possible) with people searching in the last month. It's probably because it's summer and work is slow, but whatever. I have been finding people all over the place lately. I find people who are related to me, and I search people who are in my life. I'm not paranoid or anything, but since I am so good at people searching, why not do a background check or two? I already know how to do it. I found some good people finding sites that I thought I would share with you. Here ya go.... People Search Blog (Comment on this)

12:50 pm	People Searching for Parents I figured that after my last introductory post, I should share my research and people searching skills. See, while on my quest to find my birth parents, I discovered a new hobby of mine, people searching. I basically got really into finding people online. It started with my birth parents, but grew to finding other relatives and old friends. I've done all kinds of searches, marriage searches divorce searches, and even background checks. It's really useful and fun to do. Try doing a person search on someone you know first, just to see how it works. You'll be hooked. You're going to be amazed at how easy it is to find people online. Not only that, but once you get to the site, people search engines are really easy to navigate. I've gotta go meet my birth mom, but I'll be back with more people searching tips. (Comment on this)

11:14 am	Writing, Family and People Search Hello world. My name is Rob. I'm a writer (as I said in my "short bio"), and really happy to be alive these days. I'm currently living overseas, but I grew up in Washington DC, before moving to Los Angeles when I was twenty. I am single, have one dog, and five parents. The five parents thing is kind of fun. I was put up for adoption when I was two, and adopted by two of the nicest people on this planet. They raised me together until I was 11 - at which point they got a divorce. My adopted mom remarried and that's how I got Dav - my new (and technically 3rd) Dad. Two years ago I was helping my mom with her taxes because she was being audited, and we were going through all this paperwork when I stumbled across my adoption papers! Needless to say I was shocked. I then started on what I thought would be a full out quest to find my birth parents, but thanks to these people search engines online that look through billions of public records in like... thirty seconds, I actually found them both that night. This last year we all had Christmas together, and it was awesome. It's amazing how easy it is to find a person most of the time. I apparently also have a brother, but we have all been unable to find him yet since we don't know what his new adopted name ever became. Anyway... (probably because I'm a writer) I have all these day dreams about being somewhere weird... like in a bar, or on top of a mountain waiting to ski... and meeting him. What are the chances though right? Okay. I started this blog to get through a little patch of writer's block, and I think I'm through now. Hurray! Back to work. (Comment on this)
