You can never find a female zoologist when you need one. Especially a bald one.
What do you do late on a friday afternoon when the work you are doing seems to be just a bit too hard and all you want to really do is knock off for the day?
You do what everyone does – you waste time. You could play solitaire, or, if you work for yourself like I do, then you need to convince yourself that what you are doing instead of working is really important. So I check my web stats.
This is, of course, a very important thing to do. Everyone says so. So that’s what I did this afternoon. And I found the strangest thing. When I looked up the key words and phrases that people plug into search engines to get to my site I found Female Zoologist.
What the …??!!??
This is a site about serious computer issues, and cows. Ha! Maybe the cows was the connection. Cows are animals, hence zoologist. And cows are female. All you non-animal husbandry types may not have known that. Another piece of interesting information. Animal husbandry is not the art of finding a nice bull for your cow.
But no, that was not the connection. I did, in a fit of madness, use the phrase bald female zoologist in a previous post. But it was nothing to do with zoologists, female or not, bald or not.
So I went to Google and typed in female zoologist and hit search. I checked the first 20 pages (this was important research) and I wasn’t listed. So I tried it again but limited the results to Australia. And there I was, item 3 on the second page. Shezaam! So I tried the same thing in Yahoo and MSN, but they don’t consider my relevance to female zoologists to be worth mentioning.
But then I had a thought. By writing about that here, I may get another mention in Google, or perhaps increase my ranking. Perhaps I should create a blog category, Female Zoologists and make it my aim in life to be the number 1 ranked site for that key phrase. That would be something to boast about to the grandchildren.
So I am now seeking any information on female zoologists. I will not rest until I am number 1.
Sorry, I can’t help you with acquiring the skills of any female zoologists, but thought I’d leave a quick comment anyway, as I just happened to be looking at your site when Tom called.
Perhaps we’ll be able to make use of your development talents on other projects in the future, though. You seem to have all the right skills for the kind of projects we do!
Feel free to e-mail me if you come up with any more ideas. Cheers.
