Facebook, stalking, and interviews

Alright. I know what I did was freaky. I was curious. I wanted to see if anyone from my work was on Facebook. I didn't think that my manager would be stupid enough to not have his privacy settings right.... so I could see his profile and also his... pics of (I know, way to make it seem worse than it actually is by censoring...)

I also found out that he's younger than Greg, and that with the old FB layout he would've been the guy with a 3-pgs-long profile....

That kind of tramatized me a bit. I mean I already know that I'm not going to like this term, but it gets me thinking: what if I looked him up before I accepted this position (or better yet, before I chose the office location)? I mean we all get told that employers sometimes look at our facebook profiles but - why couldn't it work both ways? Why couldn't we know a bit more about the kind of person that we're going to be stuck with for four months?

I honestly think I'm going to start doing this next term.
