I should have been an author...

One day, when I grow up, I want to write a book. This book would be the ultimate story of awkwardness. Awkwardness is fun to read about, because it allows the reader to build up his own resistance to feeling awkward without taking any real risks, or putting himself in an awkward situation.
Anyway, I'll give you some hints about the plot. The story would be about a boy, who had a good job with Uzbekistani Package Shippers. One day, he got a weird email about a job with a company called Peter Allen Hamilton. He wasn't looking for a job, but he decided to interview anyway. Although he almost got arrested by federal police on the way to the interview (because he accidentally went down the road towards the Nation's Secret Agency and made an illegal U-turn since they wouldn't let him make a legal one), the interview went really well, and they offered him the job right then and there. A few weeks later, they specified the terms of the job (which wouldn't be starting until after he had graduated from the U. of Made a Bad Choice), and he decided to accept it. At this point, he realized that the Uzbekistani Package Shippers deserved to know that he was planning on working for a different company after he graduated, so he decided to tell them about it. At the same time, however, his workload at school was getting really intense, so he decided that he needed to ask for a week's leave from work at the same time that he told them the bad news about the other job offer. They granted this week off, and he was already starting to feel pretty awkward, when things suddenly took a turn for the Even Worse. On his way to work, after having been off for a whole week, he got into a car accident about 300 feet away from work, and had to send in an email that night explaining why he hadn't come into work that day, and couldn't come in until the next week.

That's actually as far as I've gotten. It doesn't have a grand finale yet, but I'm working on that part as we speak. I'm guessing it's going to have to do with needing to take off yet another day or two from work just to get more schoolwork done, and perhaps even a spectacular failure to complete one or more term papers or end-of-semester projects.

I found my first Googlewhack!

If you don't know what a Googlewhack is, you should look it up on Wikipedia. Basically, it's a Google search query consisting of two words which only turns up one result. It's harder than it sounds.

After changing my away message this evening, I decided to look up the definition of one of the words I was using. Somehow, the idea of a Googlewhack came to mind, and I put in one other word, and whammo! I had myself a Googlewhack.

Now, the funny thing about Googlewhacks is that they cease to exist as soon as you post the two words on your blog, because then Google indexes your page and you become result #2. Since this royally sucks, I'm not gonna do that. However, I'm going to take a screenshot of the occasion and post it here, so I have permanent proof of the accomplishment. If you want to verify the results for yourself, just look at the image. However, I do request that you not forget the nature of Googlewhacks in your moments of virginal Googlewhack delirium. Please do not post these two words in plain text on your own blog/website/internet dumping ground. I thank you in advance.
