  • Risk your job so I don't get bored!

    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!

    I'm sure the drive is not the only pointless thing he has going for him.

        And now you know why waiting rooms have magazines.
        Seshat's self-help guide:
        1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
        2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
        3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
        4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

          I do not understand these people. I always have at least one, and usually 2-3, books in my bag, plus another 3 or so in the car, along with a stack of crosswords. Bored? Me? Never!

            Not to mention if the guy decided to access certain websites. If said websites are accessed on your account, you'd get in a shit ton of trouble.

              For me the iPhone is just the greatest invention ever. I never get bored. Anytime I have to wait, I just surf the web (unlimited data plan is the bomb). AT&T isn't making any money off me, not with my surfing habits

                Same. I *never* leave the house without at least one book to read and, if my backpack is with me, my book of Sudoku puzzles. That way, whether it's a case of me being stuck at school for an extra half hour waiting to be picked up, running errands with my mom turning into a 3-hour tour, or having to sit in the waiting room at the doctor's office, I always have something to do. Worse still is not having my MP3 player or having it, not being able to listen to it, and being forced to endure a situation of no background noise. Lack of something to focus my mind on results in me being near-uncontrollably twitchy and fidgety.

                In the case of 'running errands turns into a huge production' and I somehow have forgotten to take a book with me, I will go into whatever store that has books is nearby (be it an actual bookstore or the book section at WallyWorld) and browse. I dunno if that speaks to a deeper psychological issue about me, but me - book= sad kitty.

                  Clearly he has no clue how a secured and monitored network works.

                      Seriously....CRML.

                      That first story pissed me off and I wasnt even in the same country as you. Lol.

                      Id support that name change.

                      I ditto Teskeria's idea...

                      But seriously, why do these people figure youre there for their amusement?
