Computers & Fun #4 6/14 Wednesday Afternoon - Computer Lab

The computer lab is set up like an office today, the seats moved apart so each student has their own cube-shaped area. Abby is sitting up front, her usual white labcoat traded for a oversized men's suit jacket.

"Good afternoon my worker bees! Today we're going to be learning the two most important things office workers need to know. How to use offline computer programs like word processing and how to hide the fun stuff from their bosses." Abby ran through a quick description of programs like Word, Excel, notepad and their mac counterparts that the mun doesn't care about because her soul belongs to Bill Gates..

"Of course then you have the fun stuff. Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, Freecell, Minesweeper and my personal favorite..." Abby leaned forward and grinned, "Paintbrush! There's just something about making really crappy pictures with a limited color choices that speaks to my soul." She flipped her laptop around to show a couple of her own pictures. "This first one here is my old boss, if he decided to turn goth. This one is a duck." Abby shrugged. "I like ducks."

"So it's 3:00 on a Friday afternoon. You've got two hours before you can clock out and nothing left to do. You need to pick one of the fun activities to play around with but beware of the boss. If he catches you goofing off you might get fired." Abby straightened her jacket and nodded to them. "In order to not get caught you need to work on being sneaky. Alt-tab will get you to another window quickly, hitting minimize with your mouse, or the ever popular turning your screen off and pretending to be reading a report. Come up with a way to get back to your work screen and try not to get caught, and those of you who make it through class without letting me see your fun program get a prize!" Abby held up a box of caffeine-laced candy.

"Oh and I almost forgot! The school is having an art fair on Friday. So if any of you want to use this time to make an art project in paint...I think that would be cool." She grinned and shook the box of candy. "So cool that you might even get two packages of the awesome candy."

"Well, something's going on. It's a catchy tune. Maybe a ninja flipped out and put music on your computer?" John's waiting for him to click that window and flip out.

The window pops up and he growls at John. "I'm gonna kill you for this later you know. So if I ever help your sorry invalid..." he starts muttering in Japanese, as he only just now realizes it's not a good idea to swear in class. //ass again! You just wait John... I'm going to build a robot that'll chase you good...// Pah. Now that's probably the most idle threat ever made.

//You'd beat up helpless student?// John replied in Japanese.

//You ain't what I consider helpless. I oughta break your other arm...// If John knows Japanese well he may note Ranma speaks a very rough form of it. Not Osaka, so much as just unrefined and unintelligent. He's not been through very much schooling.

John says something very rude in Japanese. It's quite possible that John himself doesn't know what it means.

Ranma blinks. //Yeah well you're a...// Cue a long string of words Ranma has only heard but never used. He's a goody two shoes deep down.

"Well if you didn't understand it than you can use your imagination." He glares.

He's lost. He tries not to look dumb but he just stares blankly.

John reboots Ranma's brain. CTR+ALT+DEL

John grins.
