Hobo Teaching Tip #2e

Here’s a tip. Always be nice to the IT person on your campus. Don’t do it so that they will get things do for you when you need them. No, buddy up to them so that they do the things that you’re not willing to ask for. Let me explain.

Some teacher was snapping at me in the hall. What it was about, I have no idea. With her I tend to tune her out and then sing a song in my head that matches her lip movements. That day she serenaded me with (How Much Is) That Doggie In The Window?, I believe. Anyway, Dale, the IT guy came up to me after she stamped off and offered to change her password on her and throw a real wrench into her whole day. Oh, and he’ll make sure to play telephone tag just to make her stew for a while.

Apparently, last week, she called Dale a floppy disk freak.
