So out of the blue, and while I was grabbing a quick nap this afternoon, apparently one of the jobs my sister applied for called and left a message asking for a reference for her. Interestingly enough, they mispronounced her last name.

I’m a bit put out because my sister didn’t even bother to let me know that she was putting me down as a reference, let alone ask me. And I was always under the impression that you shouldn’t put family members down as references. She’s married, so we have different last names, but I’m not going to lie if I call the person back and they ask how I know her.

So what would you do? By the time I got the message it was too late to call the person back today at any rate, so I have until tomorrow to decide. But from what I know of my sister’s personality, I don’t know if I can honestly give her a good reference either way. And she just worked a year at a school, so I don’t know why she didn’t put one or two of those people down as references.
