    You don't have to be good at your job....

    ...just good at Google.

    Funny story about something that just happened at work today. I'm officed right next to our new staff attorney. He got a request from someone in management about whether a new contract had language contradictory to some admiralty law court decision he'd never heard of. He spent hours today going through all his maritime law texts, online law reference service, and company files trying to find ANYTHING that would point him in the right direction. Finally in exasperation he came over to my office to vent and ask if I knew of anyone else in the company that might be able to get him started.

    "Nope, but did you try googling it?"

    "Well no, it's a court decision that would only be referenced in legal texts dealing with precedent setting cases"

    I asked him the name of the decision, slapped that sucker into Google (didn't even spell it right), and WHAMOLA! very first hit in the search results.

    Boy was he ******! I had to laugh at that one. Told him he wasted 3 years in law school and coulda just googled whatever he needed.

    Maybe I should be an attorney. Apparently ain't all that hard anymore. Ha!

            Google is your friend. Beats the hell out of microfiche.

              Going through college, I learned that Google is a resource that should be utilized every chance you get. Just have to be careful about what you find and take it for what its worth.

              I once saw on Google that people had put pea gravel in feeders....

                  Google is the shiznit. I was having an issue with my AutoCAD and Googled it. Found what I need within the first three links.

                    wish I would have had google in law school....

                    it would have made it much easier to hunt and fish, instead of all that dang reading we had to do....

                        Two words.....Green Screen. Works better than Google every time but as stated above, take the results at your own risk unless it involves breakin aggressive dogs or supplementing your feeding program with pea gravel. Those are gospel!
