Some of this stuff really happens to me!!!!!!!

SSSOOooooooooooooo.......................

All True...

1. Put disk in the computer next to yours and whine because the computer can't find your disk.

2. Save your document in the My Documents folder and leave your classroom and go to the computer lab and whine because the file is not in the My Documents folder. Try several machines with the same results. Complain because the computers are defective.

3. Put your floppy disk in the zip drive and complain because the computer a)can't read your disk and b) will not give you your disk back. c) the zip drive ejects your disk half way so you yank it the rest of the way out and the metal sliding cover stays in the computer.. slink out of the lab and don't tell any one. (easy solution fold a paper in about quarters lengthwise so it is about 2" wide and place one end under the disk and one end over the disk and hit the eject button and the metal piece will not get caught.)

4. Complain to the Computer Lab attendant that the zip drive won't read your disk. See 3c. for cause.

5. Scream and throw a temper tantrum because the software is not working correctly and refuse to give the Lab assistant the mouse so they can show you how to do it right.

6. Work for hours on a project and then close the software and forget to save your work and then get mad at the Lab attendant because they can not recover your document.

7. When there is a thunder storm and lights are flickering and the Lab attendant tells you to save your work just in case the power goes out. Don't listen to her because you are invincible or you don't want to save your project because you are not done with it, and then get mad because the power flickered off for 10 seconds and she cannot recover your project.

8. Expect the Lab attendants to help you with your homework but don't bring your book into the lab with you.

Having been a Computer Lab Technician for 8 years, I could keep going... with I D 10 T errors.

Oh ya I forgot my favorite.
When I told a student I was being promoted to the Media Services Technician, he wanted to know who was going to replace me he said he did not like my replacement because he crossed his leg when he helped him.

Waves good riddance. Perfect end to my last day and last customer in the lab. I thought I would miss helping people learn to build a new life. He convinced me I was going to a better place and would not miss the BS.

my favorites:

1. switch the "m" and "n" keys on keyboards, and also some of the symbol keys

2. when someone is in the bathroom, set their website home page to porn

3. lock other people out of the network (type in their username, then 3 wrong passwords)
