My love-hate relationship with gmail didn’t end with my deleting my gmail account. I thought that would be the end of the relationship, that gmail would never be a part of my life again. Well, I’m happy/sad to say that gmail and I recently got back together. I am giving our relationship another chance.
What prompted this? Mainly gmail’s cousin: Google Book search. In order to view any results from Google Book search, I have to to have a google account. It then seemed silly to start a google account without getting the gmail with it too. Sure, things didn’t work out so well the first time around, but it wasn’t so, so bad. And if I’m associating with the Google family, I may as well associate with gmail again and reap the benefits.
Somewhere in this gmail debacle, I’m sure there is a “moral of the story” about real-life relationships. I don’t really care to think about it right now.
