Cyber Bullying

During the past few days, I have been on a "mama rage" about cyber bullying. Well, it has finally come to a close, I hope. What kids, or offenders of any type, do not realize is that once you use the social network to harass people, it becomes a crime of sorts (federal jurisdiction I believe).

The child that started the group tried to deny it, but that was as far as it got. The school got his mom involved, and then the police. Mom grounded him from his computer and pretty much life in general, for quite a while. The kid named another person with administrative rights on the group (I guess he wasn't stupid - he figured if he would go down, it wouldn't be alone). Anyway. he then went down his friend list, found mutual friends of him and my son, and invited them to join this group. (Mind you, it was marked as a "private" group - tells you something else huh?)

Okay, so it all started rolling down hill... first the school, then the parent, then the police. The child that "created the group" was fined $200 by the local police. Each child that was put on the invitation list (whether they knew about it or not) were cited $150. I guess it's time to take responsibility for their actions.

If the parent wasn't mad enough about the situation, I'm sure the fine will push them over the edge.

Is friendship really worth getting a ticket for that much money?

May those kids learn a lesson from this and may each person realize that being "cool" isn't always the best way to be.

Stop Cyber Bullying - My child is a victim!!!

Spread the word...

It is Satuday night... and I am STILL in front of the computer!!!

For a person who spends, in excess of, 40 hours per week in front of the computer, I can honestly say that I have spent at least 30 hours in front of this one, in my room, since Thursday morning. I have been wanting to clean up the blogs, hook up with old ones, etc etc etc. I did it. I feel like I have done so much these past 3 days, especially since I have this serious kink in my neck, from sitting here. I feel like I have accomplished so much... some of the weight is off my shoulders.

I know that several bloggers have warned me about the amount of work it is... and that it's just like a full-time job. (But I enjoy it more than my full-time job some days!) Is it possible to trade in? But, I would need a better keyboard - this one I am using totally sucks! And the kitchen chair is hard on my butt... even with a cushion.

Beggers can't be choosers I guess. Oh well, C'est la vie!

computer burnout

I am on the computer all say at work. And then on the computer for homework. So tired. My eyes hurt. My head hurts.

I want to bring a blog over from another platform, which would require sitting at my computer and going through the motions. I want to, but I just don't have the energy. I want to, i know what I need to, but right now... I'm too tired to just do it.

Maybe tomorrow?

too much time on the computer

So much to do. So many things going through my brain, but 9 hours in front of a computer at work DOES NOT invite me to want to work on my computer at home, after work!

Little annoyances

Have you ever experienced those little things that drive you absolutely crazy? Like the person who leaves their cell on their desk and then you keep hearing the reminder beep? How about the person in the next room who keeps clicking the mouse? What about listening to someone text on their phone with the clicking sounds turned on? Aarrgghh! Sound overload!
