Technology Fee, huh?
Alright, listen up.
The network goes down. It happens. Everywhere you go for the rest of your life there will be intermittent 'down' times.
Funny story.
Someone out in New York tripped over the cable labeled "Vermont" and unplugged us out there today for a few hours. It wasn't IT, Norwich, TransVideo, Northfield or even Vermont. Blame some construction worker out in Albany and pick up a book for once in the semester. Deal with the harsh, cruel world without Facebook and AIM.
Another thing.
Stop harassing the folks at the help desk. This MAY come as a surprise for some of you, but being as they are in the IT department and know more than you ...
THEY ALREADY KNOW THE INTERNET IS DOWN.
*gasp*
So think about that the next time you feel the need to "inform them" of your online status change.
Finally ...
For the last time, don't use the line, "It's nice that I pay a technology fee for the internet not to work!"
Why shouldn't you get your money's worth, right? WRONG!
You're a huge dumbass. If you researched your unfounded gripes, you'd find that your extensive technology fee does not go toward the 'internet' or even the lab paper. It funds the extremely overpriced licenses for the software packages that the lab computers have for certain majors. Engineering majors, nursing majors, math majors and architecture majors can explain these to you. MatLab, AutoCad, Mathematica (I see you shuddering!) and yes, even MS Office.
I pay a technology fee, too, and guess what? Not only do I not use any of those programs, I don't even use Windows! (No, I'm not a Mac user either, so stop inviting me to those "Apple Student" groups on StalkerBook) So when you're complaining to me in the repair shop about your "technology fee" - that for all I know your parents pay for - I will most likely strangle you with a CAT5 cable and hang you from the server rack as an example to your followers.
That counter is there to protect you from me; remember that.
