Ok, so I was just sitting at my mom's computer today with this big... THING sitting on the desk behind me. I wasn't quite sure what it was, but it said 'Google' on it. There was also a huge computer sitting on the floor. It took me a little while to figure out what was going on. Actually, I never figured it out on my own. I had to ask my mom when she got home.
It turns out that the company she works for (Health Care Logistics Inc.) has decided to buy a search engine from Google. In case you didn't know, that costs about $5000 to do. I don't know the exact amount but that's a rough estimate.
Well, my mom's stuck trying to set it up and test it. That really didn't seem that exciting until I found out that I had a gift that came with it.
It was a t-shirt. I'm a sucker for t-shirts that do nothing for anything but advertise something other than other clothes.One of my favorite t-shirts is a shirt that says 'Traffic' on the front and has some movie rental store's logo on the back. It's just so cheap. I get a free shirt and I get to advertise something other than the clothing company that made the clothes. Isn't 'Traffic' a movie from the mid '90's?
Anyways, I got my new shirt and I thought I'd share the story of how I came to acquire a google shirt.
Capt. over and out!
