Ever look up something on the internet and then 2 hours later you know how to plant potatoes, shoe a horse, and repair jet plane engines? This cartoon captures that phenomenon.
Except . . . I don’t have ears and I go to bed at a reasonable hour with a book. My downfall is sitting down at the computer first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee in hand. Suddenly it’s noon!
It’s a black hole!
It is! A vortex, or eddy, or time warp too!
You need computer post-its. The program I have has alarms, so I set the alarm for 5 minutes before the hour. Each hour I get my 5-minute break which seems to be so important to my general doctor and my eye doctor.
That is very smart. I will do that as between blog reading and editing my novel, my eyes are wonky.
I got wonky eyes way back in 1980. I was in charge of Kerr Steamship Company’s communications department. We were staring at those old green IBM screens for 8-18 hours a day, depending on whether a merchant ship was in port.
We used telex and TWX connected to the newfangled computer system. It was awesome.
Oh gosh . . . I forgot about TWX. I used one of those too.
Looks up on google “Am I am bunny/”
What did you find out? Are you a bunny?
On a side note, your mention tickled me no end!
The result was conclusive. I’m a bunny, and a damn cute on.
I am s glad it did. 🙂 You really have helped with your words.
Yes you are a damn cute bunny. I am so glad my words have helped.
Definitely, I’m a bunny.
Sounds like there are a lot of us in the rabbit warren.
Hahaha. I can so relate to this. What did we ever spend our time on before Google? There just aren’t enough hours in a day now. 😉
Mr. Google knows everything!
Love this cartoon. This speaks of my life.
It hit a nerve with me!
This is so true. I do always chuckle to myself about how whatever question comes up, in whatever situation, and the answer isn’t known, the first thought is “I’ll Google that” and there will ALWAYS be an answer. It might not be the right answer, but it’ll be AN answer.
I google everything too. You can ALWAYS find info . . . and way more than you need!
Great post!
Thanks! Well, Thanks to Emma I should say.
What did we do before the internet & Google? How did we know things? I’m sure we are much smarter now…
I guess we turned to the encyclopedia? Dictionary? Our moms?
Funny funny funny. That’s me, like you, early in the morning (5:30 a.m. in my case) on-line before work, then in the late afternoon, doing the same. Quite addictive, yes.
You can search for anything, from cuticle snippers to quantum physics and get answers. Amazing.
YES! I can Totally relate to this! Have just told my man, ‘honestly, I shall be in to bed in just 2 minutes…’ Okay, I mimed it because my toothbrush is in my mouth and I can’t even do that in the bathroom, have to multi-task!
LOVE IT! !:)
Sweet dreams! x
“Mee wite fere.” Also known as “be right there.” An hour later, “moming.” That’s “coming!”
😀
That is me — I have no discipline. My readers’ interest eggs me on.
Can’t leave them hanging, right?
Yes, that one hits close to home. But the blogging is the bigger time suck for me. 🙂
Totally for me too! Unbelievable time suck.
Love. Love the bunny, love the sentiment. ; )
When my husband first got an iPhone, he would say, “Let me look that up on my googler,” He got a lot of strange looks.
I know – I had to be very careful about that – especially on deadline days! It is my blog and reading other blogs, not google though that takes up my time
Yes, that is more accurate for me too. Keeping up with blog reading is a full-time job. Geez Louise!
That feels like me 24/7. I really need to get a life.
Being on the computer writing makes Mr. Internet so handy to jump on.
It’s the Angry Birds that get me.
Never played Angry Birds. I hear it is addictive.
I like your comment, except that I’d add . . .repair jet plane engines and the house is still dirty and the laundry didn’t do itself?
HA HA So true!! You mean kids need to eat?
Kids? There are kids??
No . . . your husband (remember him?) took them to McDonald’s for something to eat.
Husband? (This is getting dangerously close to forgetting to bathe or something.) Quit while we’re ahead!
Yes, that was another great post by Emma. 🙂
Cracked me up.
I do feel this way in the morning, too. I’ve moved recently so I’ve gotten out of my usual schedule, but I have to remember not to fall into too much temptation when I need to work.
There was a turn off all electronic devices for 24 hour day recently. It had some clever name. A lot of people rose to the challenge but I couldn’t. How could I not write for one whole day?
Hahahaha. That is so me.
As Uncle Mitchell would say, “Google that up.”
I fall down the webbit hole in the a.m. and the p.m.
That cartoon is spot-on!
Isn’t it tho. I am always saying “Let me google that.”
