Vote For Us In The SEMMYS! Please?

Matt McGee announced the finalists for the 2008 SEMMYS today, and much to my surprise, some of the Bruce Clay blog’s posts actually made it past the first round of nominations! Exciting!

You know where this is going, right? This is where I very politely ask you to (please) go vote for us so that I can prove to Susan that I have some value to this company and she’ll let me take a lunch break or buy me a cookie or at least take off these damn handcuffs so I can get up from my desk and relearn how to walk. The categories in which we’re nominated are Search Tech and LOL Funny!

You can go vote for us by following these links:

I know people like Barry Schwartz and Andy Beal are also lobbying for your votes, however, I am more important. Or at least more deserving. Andy and Barry win lots of things and they’re asked to speak on panels and they’re generally identified as Really Cool People. However, this is not the case for me. In fact, I’m still trying to get over my heartbreaking loss to Search Engine Roundtable for Best Conference Coverage. Do you know what it’s like to sit at home and eat tear-filled Ben & Jerry’s straight out of the container? I know Susan does. [You guys, seriously, please vote for her. I can’t take another loss. You wouldn’t believe the whining I have to put up with. -Susan] — I’m sorry you find my heartbreak so annoying.

So go support your community by voting in all of the SEMMYS 15 categories and make sure you vote for Bruce Clay where applicable, that would be in the categories of Search Tech and LOL Funny.

You’re the best!
