I actually feel for our tech guys. I am constantly amazed (not sure why really) at just how bad most teachers are when it comes to tech stuff.

How bad are they? I'm asking for a friend...

This just came from an admin who just got promoted to the board office, talking about logging into the student information system:"What is the best way for me to login? Especially from home? As of now I am going to the school website and going to links..."

OMFG, here is the reply after I suggested perhaps adding the site to favorites....

"thanks! At the risk of sounding smart, is there an app for that? Seriously, for court it could come in handy."

Another cute benefit of having tech-clueless people on staff is that it hurts those of us who know what we're doing (most of the time).

Last week I open up our gradebook program for the first time this year. My password does not work. Here is pretty much the exact message I sent via our "help desk" app.

Hey, I know you guys are busy but I just tried to open Gradebook and my password doesn't work.

When I enter the password it does NOT tell me that it is incorrect.

All it does is revert back to a blank password field.

I know this is is the correct username and password since it is the same one for email and I have no problem with opening email.

Thanks.

About 15 minutes later I get a phone call from one of tech people. Here is the conversation:

Her: Yeah I checked with Dustin (head tech dude) and he says your Gradebook password is the same as your email password.

Me: Yeah, that's the password I've been entering.

Her: Have you used that password to open your email?

Me: Yes, several times. And like I said in the message it isn't telling me that my password is incorrect. Nothing happens. I really don't think this has to do with an incorrect password or username.

Her: Did you make sure you don't have the caps-lock on?

Me: (laughing) Yeah, I'm 100% sure. The computer is plugged in too in case that was your next question.

Her: Well we do have to ask these things.

Eventually it just came down to an update that should have happened a few weeks ago. I'm not blaming our tech people at all. It just sucks.

When you say free girls - you mean that we get to have sex with them without paying, right?
