Raven's Journal

One of my employees is another GA's roommate. This creates some problems at times.

For example, yesterday I found one of the doors open and a computer running a simulation overnight that shouldn't be. The computer simulation was a very minor problem, and I nicely reminded the person in email to assign overnight simulations to the designated row. The door being open was a much bigger problem, it's a security risk.

I emailed the individual over both issues. I asked him if this stuff did or did not happen.

His response was ask my roommate the GA since he was with me at closing.

He didn't say a yes or no. I know this means he's guilty as sin, and is hoping his roommate can cover his ass.

Funny thing is that yesterday I spoke with our supervisor about the fact this individual is sometimes abusing his relationship with the other GA. I said I don't have any major infractions to pin on the guy, but he does use the GA's influence to get away with little shit.

Now my next problem is his email response. First, the guy was not direct with me. Second if any punishment will occur it will happen to his roommate not him.

The GA may have let the computer simulation go, but the door no way in hell. This GA is fucking psycho about (physical) security.

I was talking to my mother last night, and I mentioned that several private schools have been suspending and expelling students over blogs and websites. I noted that these sites were written at home, etc...

My mom told me that my old high school now has a "proper use" policy regarding computers. If a student writes anything offensive about the school or another student, he or she will be suspended or expelled. This policy concerns the students' personal websites and blogs.

I asked my mother how the school could even determine who wrote the comments. She told me that the policy is interrupted, ie. we have no way of proving who wrote what on the Internet.

I also pointed out that a student could impersonate another student to get him or her expelled.

For example, I don't like Carol. I make a blog and pretend to be Carol. Eventually I write something about myself as "Carol" to get her suspended or expelled.
