Join the HATE brigade.
Okay, so you have all probably read Kate’s post about the suckiness of our schools Internet
admin. Well, you would think that it couldn’t get worse – I mean, have my site blocked, cos’
the images were controversial and alluring… to have Blogger blocked – which stops me from doing
any internet ranting at school (Unless I type at home and post here)?
BUT YES – It can get worse.
How you may ask? Well her it is…
The other day I logged on the computer, waited fifteen minutes for it to load up, then wait
a further five minutes for the internet browser to load, I typed in my password, and started
typing in an address that I needed to go for, for an assignment. A message popped up across
the screen.
Access Restricted
You are not able at this time to browse the Internet, due to access restrictions in your account.
So, I figure I need to “BUY” more net time, yes – here at Craps Ville high, we have to pay
for print credits, and Internet time – if we run out. So I came to school the next day with
a couple of bucks, and did the long routine, to let me access the net, I c went to log on later
that day, and the money had still not been put on… I mean it doesn’t take long to go in and
say “This person paid this, here it is in your account!” – But no? I had to wait till the following
day (NOW!) So I came in, once again needed the net for research. So I log on, and again the
big bold message comes up, sending a dagger to my heart (Or the head of Mrs. XXXXX) so, I trod
up the stairs to the admin office, and say – Umm… my money is in there (cos’ I checked the
account balance) but it still wont let me surf!? WHY???? (Well I said it nicer than that actually)
anyway, I then spoke to Mr. XXXXX and he told me that I had used too much Internet time within
the week. Yes sad to say I used .5 (point five!
) too much downlands. I told him it was for school (most of the time) and that I needed that
access for my heavy SACE subjects… he said he would like to see the assignments later, but
he would put me back on, cos I paid for time, and I did have assignments to get through. BUT
COME ON – point five, what’s the Point of kicking me off for that, it is ridiculous, add that
with the surveillance system and it feels like you are logging in to Albatraz.
I said to Kate after her Blog, I don’t know how I would top her entry, well I found a way!
HUH!? So yes, there’s my rant, not much of a new rant compared to Kate’s, but hey it is a start!
Well, I have just tried again to log on and it seems to be working, lets see if I get monitored
and get every other site banned too?
STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.
HATE, HATE, HATE.
DIE. DIE. DIE.
