A new toy

My Mother’s Day present arrived. A new laptop! :shimmy::typing::worthy:

Oooh, I love new toys. Particularly ones that involve technology. Oh, the power! I bought a Dell because I could customize it the way I want. Hubby is an engineer and the government buys Dells, so I figured if it was good for them, I’d go with it. I’m just tickled that I can now do wireless Internet.

Oh, remember the story about crazy Dad who was mad because I DARED to give his son a late penalty for the week-late essay? Hoo, boy, it gets better. The kid plagiarized the entire thing off the Internet. Wasn’t hard to grade that one at all. Nice big old zero for that grade. I decided to stay one step ahead of him, and I e-mailed my principal to give him some of the background. Figured, just in case… I also printed out the web pages, highlighted the paragraphs that were directly lifted, and photocopied it for myself. Gee, wonder if Dad will want a conference? :blahblah:

Did anybody watch 24? What did you think?
