For those of you who don't know (and my sister would tell a much funnier version) I cannot search the Internet. It's true. How can that be, you say? Well the fact is, I don't know. But I'm awful at it.
It doesn't matter what search engine, Bing, Google, MSN etc. I inevitably end up in some obscure place on the internet that doesn't have anything to do with what I'm searching.
Example: I will try to search for invitation wording and get to a web page that only sells invitations. I will try and search for a flight to DC, that I KNOW my friend has already booked but it comes up with it at double the price.
I'm not in denial, I realize that it is operator error. But when my supervisor looked at me the other day and said ok plan your trip to Arizona in July, I just sat there looking at the screen.
Um, what?
Where do I? How do I? Can you?
Nope. I am a big girl I need to be able to do this on my own.
Ok, ok. Where to start? A search engine. Yes, yes!
After, no lie, three hours I booked a flight to and from Arizona and booked three nights at a hotel.
I was super proud of myself and handed everything into to Beatrice (boss) with a big smile on my face that resembled the smile of a young child turning in a diorama they worked on all night with their mom!
"Ok, thanks." That's all I got. I was standing there smiling like a goober, out of breath like I just ran a marathon, chest puffed up, beautifully signed clean copies..."Ok thanks."
Very anti-climatic. But I'm still proud none the less!
I think I am on my way to being able to search the internet like everyone else I know, quickly and without error!
