I had an applicant use gooeybutt@yahoo.com it was super awkward when I had to call them to troubleshoot their account for a background check.

Not sure if you're joking, but it's a reference to smoking pot.

It's a reference to a pot holiday: 4/20. I don't know the backstory, but I imagine it relates to some sort of pot miracle ala Jesus and the fish and loaves.

It has to do with the belief that 420 was the police code for a pot offense. I don’t know if that’s actually true, or true somewhere but not everywhere, but that’s the reason behind choosing the date and the joke about 420.

My DD's worked for 6 months after graduation.

My DS is graduating in a week and he was given notice that his is only active for 90 days after graduation.

YMMV, I suppose.

I wasn't joking. I had no idea that number had a bad connotation.
