It will take a bit more to actually turn me into a Google zombie

Have you ever had one of those weekends? I’m coming out of one (which is why this post is so delayed).

I spent most of last week sick, and then tested for my yellow belt in Shaolin Kempo yesterday morning. (I passed. I’m now a yellow belt!)

Last night, a bunch of people invaded my tiny house, and I was forced to prove my lack of skills at Guitar Hero. (At least they let me play a Rush song. That was fun!)

Today started a new session of our SAT Prep class at work, and I was there like a good little math teacher. Before work, I uploaded some short stories I’ve been working on editing to the app formerly known as Writely (I just don’t like the name “Google Docs and Spreadsheets.) to work on during my non-teaching hours.

On the upside, I have those stories to work on, regardless of where I may be. On the downside, I lost time reformatting a document because it disappeared in the upload. That didn’t make me terribly happy, and makes me seriously wonder what would happen if I tried to upload something important.

I also found some of the behaviors in Writely/Docs and Spreadsheets odd. I couldn’t use the tab key or the delete key. It made things a bit more tedious than necessary. I might have also liked a word count functionality, but that’s easily worked around.
