Make yourself at home
So I was at least 45 minutes delayed masturblogging today 'cos some computer user at the library leaves his station to go outside for a smoke, goes back to the computer, strike that, his computer, continues vegetating in front of YouTube all the while chatting on his cell, he has something in his ear with a wire, he thinks he's Jack Bauer...would you like a Corona and a bowl of party mix w/that?...another guy, the 30-something unemployed male live-at-home slug sitting next to him, also vegetating in front of YouTube...seems the days of staying at home circle-jerking to badly produced porn are a quaint relic from the Past, we seem to have evolved beyond this amoeba stage, now we take our act into the library -- SOLUTION: install software that cuts people off after a one-hour session let's say -- I'll buy you a computer, I'll take you to Circuit City myself in my 2005 Honda Civic, just get the hell off the computer already!!!

Our library does have a time limit where it will log you off after 1 hour. It can be stressful if you have work to do I am sure, but YouTube, ugh!
ReplyDeleteOr you could sell the Civic and buy your own computer for yourself!
ReplyDeleteIt's the lack of manners that's the real problem but I think the only solution at this point is the one-hour time limit or, put it this way, if a student has serious work to do then he/she can get a waiver from the librarian. Bottom line, current system sucks.
ReplyDeleteTrue, lack of manners, or not following the Golden Rule.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's not like what I'm doing is critical to this juncture in world history, it's not the equivalent of what would be the Winston Churchill blog, but it's important to me and I believe a tad more vital and relevant than YouTube,
ReplyDeleteor MySpace.
