Googler’s Block
May 5th, 2003
So I’m looking out the window, deep in thought, mulling over the craziness of life, wondering about this and that (translation: women)…then I look back at my computer and see that I’ve launched a browser and gone to Google. I realize before getting lost in thought that I was going to look up something…possibly something important, possibly something trivial; regardless, here I am staring at the text entry field above the “Google Search” and “I’m Feeling Lucky” buttons with absolutely no idea where my mind was ten minutes ago. And no, I’m not feeling lucky at all.
I’ve decided to call this phenomenon Googler’s Block. Since I’m at work, clearly it would be unwise to apply the same treatment recommended for Writer’s Block…any suggestions on curing this ailment legally? Suffered from it yourself? Found a cure? Let me know.
