The Google

I'm blogging at work. I don't do that very often.

This is on boss's orders.

"Marcia!" she screamed across the office.

I go running in thinking someone's died. I'm wondering which of my relatives?

I get to her office and she's pointing to the computer.

The Google.

I used to do posts about "The Google." It was fun to Google a community site and see what would come up. I really loved those posts and so did about 15 of you (plus my boss). But a number of you found it dull and I was accused of shirking my responsibilities in a few e-mails. (No one complaining ever seemed to grasp that when I did "The Google" it was always a bonus post. I never did it in place of my regular Monday through Friday night posts.)

So I'm looking where my boss is pointing and I'm confused. What the hell is that?

She searched The Common Ills and came up with all of this:

And so, on boss's order, you get again "The Google."

What a great selection of entries you get to choose from when you Google The Common Ills.

Back to the salt mine. (I will be blogging tonight as usual, this is a bonus entry.)
