<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>

This week has been pretty mellow, with the majority of my time spent trying to set up another large printer in the lab.

After days of not understanding things, I've finally got the other printer working, but I'm not going to get half of the computers using it quite yet, because it needs some actual hardware repair, there are some nasty lines that show up on the page.

One thing that has been seriously concerning me is that, despite my efforts to bring the lab to a state of general order and niceness, every time I return it's in a state of chaos.  Desktop backgrounds have been changed, kids have been on Disney and Nick.com, or have gotten headphones and speakers to try and listen to things.  This was not a huge issue until I realized someone was using one of the server computers to do their "work."  So, I printed out some big DO NOT USE printed sheets, but when I came in today, that sheet had been moved and that computer had been used just like before with the changed desktop background and everything.  And, to top it off, all the printer paper had been used to print pages and pages of Grand Theft Auto cheat codes.

I take all of this personally as an insult and as a lack of respect for my work whether I should or should not.  I feel like, next quarter, I need to have a meeting with all the teachers who plan on using the lab in how to make sure their kids are doing what they are supposed to, and hopefully establish some rules and disciplinary procedures for the lab that the teachers can implement.  This is totally unacceptable right now.

I'm really upset about the server computers too.  That's ridiculous.

At any rate, Deep Freeze should fix some of these problems, but having the meeting is a must-do kind of thing.
