So my friends were using Google to look up some story, and I looked on. So I indirectly broke my Google fast in the lamest way. But I’m not giving up!

Broke once at work today as well…I had been mostly using yahoo and then, post lunch, after being a little tired I just googled away looking for news alerts. I didn’t even notice until a few minutes after. mannnnnn

Sorry…I had to use Gmail for work. To spare you the details, I just needed to look through my inbox for information that turns out to be vital for the company.

Whoops.

Argh… I just realized I have been using Google News feeds through my RSS reader. It seems Google is jumping at me from every direction… (won’t do that again)

Yeah, I broke down and had to use Google image search to find a logo for a site I’m working on. I tried using Flickr and other stuff, but I couldn’t find anything good. Yahoo image search sucks a lot. I found what I wanted in less than a minute using Google.

Balls. I was doing so well too…Well, it’s only been a day, so I guess not.

Sorry guys, I had to use Google Docs for work! I’d explain to you what for, but it’s hopelessly boring and tedious. But I shouldn’t complain. At least I;m not shredding ten thousand documents BY HAND because the stupid shredder overheats every ten seconds like last week.

Ok, looking up some information for my comment to Josh's post I accidentally Googled "Israel Median household income". Argh... it's only been a few hours... OK, I do not think I'll go through it without some more strict restrictions so I installed Leechblock for Firefox and have blocked Google domains. I have also switched the default search bar in my browser to something else than Google (currently Yahoo). I recommend you do the same. Good luck!
