In the second round of my vanity search for ETEC 527, I simply searched Lisa Pogue, Royse City. The results from this search were all me - and all related to me professionally, except for the dreaded people searches - (dreaded if someone is looking for me, but not so dreaded if I am trying to find someone, teehee). There was one concerning entry and I truly have no idea how it got there. I tried to do some investigating, but I'm not even sure what it is. If anyone knows . . . well help a girl out. I hope it is nothing to worry about, but I will continue to see if I can figure it out.
As I clicked to the second page, there was one post for Lisa Pogue, the mortgage broker, while the other posts containing much information continue to be from my professional life. Scroll on over to the third page and the most surprising website showed up. There is a website, where you can go look up people's yearly salaries if they are government employees!! WHAT? That should not be okay, but it's public record and the internet, so . . . . I guess it is.
Overall, I'm still pleased with my digital footprint, any private information that I can control is private and the majority of the information you will find relates to me as a professional educator. And guess what? I'm okay with that. It's who I have been for the last 29 years. I'm not too pleased with some of the personal information out there that I didn't choose to be out there, but what am I to do? From these vanity searches, I've learned it's probably a good idea to check your "google" every once in awhile to make sure there isn't anything out there too surprising. It’s nice to know what others will find if they search for you.
