Definately considering changing my name to parentsruinmylife or studentsruinmylife.
I am not your slave
I was working on the front desk of the school while the evening classes were running. A man knocks on the door, and I buzz him in.
M: I am here for *evening class*.
Me: Oh, you are a bit early. That class doesn't start for an hour.
M: *gasps* An hour????
Me: Yes...
I pull out my timetable.
Me: ...I have that class starting at 6:30.
M: But I thought it was 5:30.
Me: I am sorry about that.
M: What am I supposed to do?
Me: Well, you could wait here, but apart from that, I don't know.
M: Go get me a book to read.
I stuttered a little bit. I was shocked that he came out with that.
Me: I don't have any books.
M: Don't you have a library in this school?
Me: Yes, but it is closed and locked up.
M: Well, make me a cup of tea!
Me: *through my teeth* I don't have tea.
I very discretely hid my mug of coffee under the desk.
M: Well, how about a guided tour then? I've always wondered what it is like in here.
Me: I have work to do. I am not just sat here waiting for someone to come to the door. I am the only member of staff here at the moment, and I can't leave my post to give tours.
M: Fine. *sighs* I guess I will just have to wander the streets for an hour then.
He walked out.
I don't mind losing my job, really!
The 6:30 class started, and a different man came up to the desk.
DM: I have just dropped my wife off for the evening class, and, well, it's a bit pointless me going home again only to have to come back, so I was wondering, can I have access to a computer? You know, so I can go on the Internet or something.
Me: I'm afraid not. To get on to any computer here, you need to have a username and password. Only students and staff can access the computers.
DM: Oh...OK.
I thought that was the end of it, so I returned to my work.
DM: Well, how about you use YOUR username and password, log on to a computer, and then I can just use that! No one will know!
Me:
Absolutely not.
DM: Whhhhhyyyyy?
Me: I am not giving my logon details to a stranger. There is far too much sensitive information in my account. I would CERTAINLY lose my job if I were to give my details out.
DM: I'm not telling you to give me the details. You can log me on yourself. No one will know!
Me: The cameras there, there, there and there will.
DM: So I can't get on a computer?
Me: No.
DM: Not even to use the internet?
Me: No.
DM: Fine. I will make the pointless drive back home then.
He left.
Seriously? He expected me to let a complete stranger use my account? My account contains so much sensitive data, that if any of it got out, I would probably be arrested! Never mind lose my job!
