I <3 Gmail

Not only did Gmail save me from days of bordem at my old job but it comes up with the greatest shit! My old work pretty much banded all access to the "fun" sites like Myspace, Facebook, gossip blogs and any chats (which included AIM - the source of my outside world!) My friend Eileen told me about Gmail and how you can chat on it with other "G's". Luckily, my job didn't catch this site since it was just considered an "email website". Little did they know...jerkoff's. Can you imagine how much advertising I was doing for Gmail just to convince my friends to sign up so I won't be a loner at work?

Anyways, Gmail is an all-in-one stop for internet usage. From emails, chat, statuses, picture sharing and new updates...you can't really get bored with it. I was going thru my settings and I found "New Stuff in Labs". It's pretty much different applications you can install in your gmail account and one that I found super interesting was the "Undo Send". Meaning you can pretty much take back what you sent if you you're still in your grace period. I remember reading somewhere that one reason the Googler thought of this special feature is because sometimes people get on their SmartPhones, send a "drunk email" and then oops....regret it! Hmmm, are you a victim of that? I'm sure we all are but hey, Gmail is 3 steps ahead of us and is willing to save our asses from embarrassment. Thanks Google, good lookin'.

PS. I've been to Google Headquarters and it's a dream come true. Everything and anything you can possibly want and think of is at Google!!
