Technology and You- Monday- 1st period

[throughaphase]

Today's Danger Shop simulation was a common room. Or rather, a reasonable facsimile of a common room. Kitty had been in the dorms all of on time and it'd been the night before the Nothing swallowed everything but the library, and so she hadn't really been paying attention to details back then. So it looked like a common room, but not exactly. She'd tried.

"So you've all been here a while, and you've probably figured out that TV is a big thing here," Kitty began. "There's a ton of different programming out there, it's something mindless you can put on for background noise, it can be entertaining or educational... There's something out there for everyone, really. But beyond just knowing how to turn it on, you can record TV shows to watch later. There are DVD's and Blu-Rays that you can buy or rent of a movie or a TV show so you can play it anytime. And if you have a Netflix or Hulu account online, you can watch it that way, too.

"Today we're just focusing on the basics, though, and if you've already figured this part out, sorry," Kitty said, handing each of them a remote. "This is a universal remote that controls the TV and cable. You do not actually need like half the buttons on this thing in your everyday life."

She gave them a quick rundown on how to do that, and said, "I'm going to show you how to program the DVR. Then I want you to take turns recording something yourself. And then once you've all done that, you can pick a DVD and we'll watch that for the rest of class."

The Library: Monday

The etiquette books were at it again. This time they were all on the return table just waiting for Barry's shift so he would be forced to deal with them.

And every time he swore or said something crude even more would appear on the return pile.

"No one is even bothering to check you assholes out!" Barry yelled at the ever growing stack. "Isn't that a fucking sign?"

Apparently etiquette books weren't being reasonable because the pile just kept getting larger until the entire section was there.

Well except for one etiquette book. It was apparently on Barry's side. The only one.

How to be a Hired Gun/Mercenary

This week the class was back in the Danger Shop where it looked like it had been turned into some sort of high tech saloon with a Sci-Fi Old West theme.

Hey. It was the way of Jayne's universe. Just roll with it.

Library, Sunday

[gavegoodface]

Face hadn't drunk enough the night before to be hungover, but he was still grateful for the quiet of the library this morning.

He did, however, remember to turn the caf machine on in case the librarian wasn't so lucky if and when he showed.
