OK, where does your brother go? Wither way, today was awful. I had no idea it was snowing until I walked outside in a straight sweatshirt. I had to walk a 1/4 mile to my bus stop while being pelted in the face by snow. So I walked up and asked my friend if I could wait for the bus in his house because he lives 20 feet from the bus stop. I just need to say. Franklin FTW!!!!

I as well had to wait for a bus. Although my house is close to the school, not that close. And thus waiting wasn't so bad.

Was getting pissed off in tech this morning. The only two people on my group were the incompetent ones. So I was working and I would give them simple tasks. They just could do not anything I had asked. And then one kid came in late and he had to sit at the toolbox and sign tools out when people ask.

I hate when they screw around doing that. Slows you down more.

Yea, couldn't do a SINGLE thing I had asked. First I asked for a torque wrench with a 3/8' drive. He returns with a 1/2' drive and I say it's the wrong one. He comes back next time with a 1/4' drive. Finally I just went to grab it myself.
Then I was putting the pistons back in and the bearings and I asked him to put the pulleys and the water pump back on. Needed my help for that to. Not only that, but they kept misplacing all the nuts/bolts so I had to search for a few minutes to find the damn things.
Also he didn't know how to set a torque wrench to the correct measure when I asked him...

Look on the bright side. At least he knew what a torque wrench is. But I still maintain, if you can't use a simple tool by high school, you're going nowhere in life.

Just knowing what a torque wrench is isn't gonna help you if you can't tell what size drive it and how to set it to the correct torque spec.
But I agree.

Yup I've had people do that before. Pisses me off beyond belief lol. If someone misplaces bolts, and I know they do it frequently, I'll take cups or paper envelopes and write what bolts go in them and put them there so they don't get lost.Yea, couldn't do a SINGLE thing I had asked.

I'm sorry but if someone cannot set a torque wrench.....they are just dumb. How hard is it to pull it out/push it up and twist the handle until you reach the number you need? Some people....
This.

Yes, I am honestly a bit scared of that show. I think the SPEED programmers have lost their marbles, I would much rather watch live races.

Redneck is pretty much a hard worker, not a hick. Redneck means they worked hard, so hard they constantly had sunburn on their neck--you lesson for the day. History of "rednecks", it has come so far out of context it's pitiful.

Why do you think im said im a redneck. Iknew why they (we) are called that. People have taken it and branded it to people who live in trailors with no life and believe nascar is the best thing in the world. I do not drink, i think formula 1 is the best series and i have a life. I have a naturaly red neck and it is from being in the sun.

I now get to take another engine apart in tech. However I now have a crappy '02 Chrysler Sebring engine. I honestly thought that the BMW engine would be rather complicated and a pain in the ass to take apart however it was honestly WAY more simplistic than the Sebring engine is.

I want a automotive anything in my school. I love cars too much for there not to be, unfortunately, the nearest high school with a auto tech course is all the way across the county and requires special admission. Damn.

Today, someone decided to 'hack' the school's database.
Well, they actually did it about a month ago, but they've only just realised now. It's really not that hard to get into it, even I know how to, but I haven't because... well, I've had no reason to. You literally just need to go into 'My Computer', click on the drive 'Distribution' and it's all there if you look through the files hard enough. What makes it even worse, is that we get our set work in ICT throuhg Distribution, and we all go in there on a daily basis. Nothing is protected, it's all there, it's just that no one has really bothered to 'hack' into it. It's not even hacking though - it's just clicking.
Each teacher has a folder in there, full of all their personal data that we students can access at any time. One of the Maths teachers is from Africa, I'm not quite sure where though. A guy in my year went into his folder and found his visa, which had expired in October 2012. Either he's renewed his visa and the school hasn't updated his records, or he's illegaly in the country. No doubt the rumours spreading around school will declare him an illegal immigrant.
So for all of today, every student account was closed, so whoever had ICT today had a pretty boring lesson. This is how stupid my school was. I was fully aware everything was on there and I could access it at any time, but I didn't because, well, I don't need to.

Nice... we blue screened a laptop in our English class grade 9, we where trying to mess with the computers but not that bad haha.
Also, in middle school, all the teachers had "Hand-in" folders for computer work, I remember we downloaded gigs and gigs of random stuff and all handed it into the woodwork teachers folder (Yea, there was no computer work in the class but he had one anyway?). For the longest time there was N64 emulators, Star Fox, Movies, Random text files and random pictures in his folder. He never noticed.

I may have brought something like this up before, but does anyone have a motocross team at their school. Seems like a really good idea to me. Though many doubt it, motocross is a very physical sport, more so than football, and it could also provide an extremely educational experience. Riders could be taught motorcycle maintenance, how engines, suspensions, and other parts of dirt bikes work, and possibly even operation of heavy machinery (to build tracks and such).

Hmmph...motorcross, hell, we're not even allowed to play dodgeball. That's because my entire school district is a bunch of whoosies.
For some reason, only one person has actually been able to tap into the schools systems. He was caught immediately and suspended. This is the kid in 7th grade (dialogue coming)
Teacher: Who do you see yourself being like in the future?
Kid: Hugh Hefner.
This isn't a joke, this was in our 7th grade career and future tech ed class. The entire class LOL'd

Wow. Why such un-secure files? The closest you can get to any sort of thing here would be changing the name of a file, and that took some skill.

I know right? That sounds freaking awesome.
I once set up a batch file to look like a fake blue screen and virus that would shut the PC of and turn it back on over and over again haha.
Did the same thing again but one that actually deleted the boot file of system 32 so if you ran it, you might as well install Windows again lol

That too! Anything motorsports involved. Even if it's not competitive, it would be cool.
