Following on to my 2010 predictions blog post, I thought I might make some personal predictions for some of my HR Twitter peeps:
@SteveBoese will write one too many late night blog posts and will find himself inside the Squarespace server farm.
After battling a Windows Vista corrupt files issue all during the 2009 holiday break @thehrmaven will declare “if you can’t beat them, join them” and will become a Tech Support supervisor at Microsoft for Windows Vista.
@adowling will suffer a total hashtag breakdown and end up in a hashtag anonymous group where she will find that @TLColson is the group president. Unfortunately both will fall off the wagon and be kicked out when they are discovered whispering to each other during group meetings only in hashtags.
Looking to bring some order and discipline to his employee ranks, Dr. Evil hires @HR_Minion to be his Chief Operating Minion where she quickly convinces him to turn his back on his evil ways.
@beneubanks will evolve to pure energy, simultaneously posting to 40 blogs every day and publishing 12 books.
@billkutik will have to fly down to Fort Myers Florida for a personal intervention when @InFullBloomUS’s latest blog post hits 100 pages and our brains explode.
The Federal Government will suddenly discover how influential @lisarosendahl really is and appoint her as Blogging Czar. Her first directive will be “Mr. Obama, tear down this firewall!”
@MisterScrubby finally asserts control over @lruettimann, changes her blog name to fakepunkrockhr.com and appoints @bncarvin chief comments moderator.
While dreaming after watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs with her twins, @TrishMcFarlane discovers the secret of cloning and will show up at every 2010 HR event and conference.
Do you have some HR Twitter Peep Predictions you want to share? Come on now, you know you do. Please add your predictions in the comments.
Wait, I wonder if this should have been a Google Wave instead. Oh, never mind.

You really aren’t that far off the mark.
Dude, that was all kinds of awesome! LOL! I especially love Lisa’s.
They say admitting it is the first toward recovery. Good thing I have nothing to admit. #NoProblemsHere #NoNoneAtAll
Love the clone idea! And, the prediction about Lisa rocked! What a great idea for a post. You’ve probably covered many I would want to write about. How about these:
@BKRecruiter will attempt to get Burger King to begin selling cigars on the value menu along with the new funnel cake sticks.
@BryonAbramowitz will see that having to change so many diapers (for his new twins) inspires him to change the name of his blog to The Poopologist. He’ll begin blogging about all the ways parents can change fewer diapers. (Sorry- I know you and Bryon love when I mention poop). LOL
@Devoted2HR will open her own company where she gets paid for making people smile all day. She’ll call it “Devoted 2 Happiness”.
@pdxmikek (YOU) will take all kinds of cues from me and Boese and begin the nightly writing ritual. By the end of February, you’ll have bags under your eyes like we do, but you’ll be posting every day of the week and twice on Sunday!
It’s like yer psychic, dude!
@TrishMcFarlane – The Poopologist? You kill me.
Maybe squarespace really is the Matrix after all? Or whatever those dudes from ‘Tron’ were racing around in.
This was a hoot and once I stop laughing I’ll see what I can add
I was trying to fall asleep last night and I was still chuckling. The thought of working for @microsoft is hilarious. These are all fabulous. I can’t add another thing. You are such an insightful writer.
While being one-handed, I’ve been building future blog posts in my mind and think I’ve figured out how to post my entire HRM Business Model “Starter Kit,” all 3,000+ pages, as installments, each accompanied by a personal life episode, only some of which resulted in arrests or expulsions or visible injuries to other parties, to illustrate the HRM architectural or object model segment on which that post focuses. If I work fast enough, considering the number of updates needed to keep pace with the evolving “Starter Kit,” I think I can finish by 2020 — and retire while I’m still in possession of one or more faculties. It’s going to take more than just Kutik to stop me once I have all joints in working order.
Yes, you are a funny, funny man. OK, here’s my prediction. . .
In late 2010 @bryonabramowitz (father of 3 kids under the age of 3) finally gets 8 contiguous hours of sleep. In a burst of energy rivaled only by the sun (and @beneubanks) he discovers that answer to “How HR Can Get a Permanent Seat at the Table.”
Hilarious! Love the inside jokes and the fact that even Naomi’s response was a long paragraph.
It would be such an honor to work for @MisterScrubby. Does it pay in dead rats?
Ben – See, I knew it!
Shauna – Dude!
April – #admittingitisthefirststeptowardrecovery
Trish – Thanks for the additional predictions. I’m starting the nightly ritual in 3, 2, 1.
Mister Scrubby – Total World Domination. Right?
Bryon – I hope you already purchased poopologist.com.
Steve – Yes, my visual was the guys in Tron actually.
Lisa – Are you still laughing? Waiting for your predictions.
Deirdre – Ready for your new career at Microsoft?
Naomi – Nooooooooooo
Jennifer – Wow. I like that prediction.
Mark – Inside jokes are the best.
Beth – My guess is it pays in hair balls.
