ME: What’s it mean when my minivan makes a moooaaaangh sound when I go from 0 to 5 mph?
SKYE: What kind of noise??
ME: Mmmmmmmmoooooaaaaannnnngh. But only when it’s shifting from first to second gear. You think it’s the transmission?
SKYE: I don’t know. It sounds like an online question. Did you google it?
ME: Yea.
SKYE: What did you find out?
ME: Nothing. I got sidetracked.
SKYE: (sigh…followed by the “Do I have to do everything around here?” look)
ME: What??! You would have gotten distracted too! I googled “Odyssey and moan” and got a stripper website.

Don’t start googling yourself. You’ll barely get out alive with a semblance of guilty dignity in tatters(though your ego will stand over you like superman with cape waving behind). It’s 5 A.M., been up all night, and it’s all I got right now…
You know how some jobs block websites like Facebook and Myspace to keep employees on track? Mine should block Google because I SO know what you’re talking about with the Google-side-track thingy.
When I discovered google I was poking at it like a stick to see what would happen if I typed in this or that random non-sensical phrase. Not once did google get sick of me, reach a grimy hand out of my monitor and pull me in. “You! With the wacky searches! Stop that!
Lol! Thanks Amy. Reading this was a great way to start a day in th eoffice
I googled it too, just to see.
…Actually, if you google “odyssey and moan” the THIRD item that comes up is related to your vehicle. For real–I just did it…and, no, Skye did NOT put me up to it. Ummmm, YOU did. (I HAD to know)
