Yes­ter­day was not a good day.

It was a day that made me wish I had never gone into this busi­ness – a day that made me long for a warm beach and a mai tai. I don’t have these days very often, but yes­ter­day, oh boy, I had it in spades!

I’ve been doing search (yes­ter­day, I used a dif­fer­ent, less polite noun) for a long time.  And I have to be hon­est, some days it feels like a thou­sand leeches are suck­ing the blood out of me. Given that, it was impos­si­ble to muster up much enthu­si­asm for the roll out of Google Busi­ness Pages or the rag­ing con­tro­versy of Facebook’s “LikeGate”. Really? Are those the most impor­tant things to lit­ter our in-boxes with?
