it was a slow summer

I know it’s been fall for like a week now, but I’ve been wanting to do this post for awhile and (ironically?) haven’t had much time to write it! It’s ironic because it’s about having way too much time.

It Was a Slow Summer. Specifically at my job, which has really picked up, but during those few summer months I existed in a ten-to-six, over air-conditioned vacuum of free time. I’m not complaining! Most of the time it was awesome.

Towards the end of the summer, I had cause, for one reason or another, to examine my google search history. LOOK at your google search history, you’re guaranteed to find something hilarious.

Without further ado, I present to you Summer 2011: A Snapshot of My Life.

  3. All mine are just locations, work related, people who emailed me I don't know, or self searches. I'm a boring googler...
