More pr0n

Sorry about missing porn day, I was out of town.

Anyway, we had a lab manager who was pretty much a looney..   One day she announced she was marrying one of the students (that everyone was pretty much convinced was gay.)  We gave her a quickie shower, she had said quickie marriage, and a divorce was filed within 24 hours of the wedding.   (Reason:  he was gay!)  Then one of the students she had working in the lab was this really skeevy guy she gave the key to the lab to so he could open and close.  Only he was coming in at 1am getting on IRC having hot and heavy chat sessions.  So I was directed to set up logging, and pass the transcripts on to the dean.  They were pretty repulsive-apparently he considered himself to be Mr. Hot and Sexy, neither of which he was by any stretch of the imagination.

The order came down to fire him, of course.   Then said guy had some serious balls (or delusions) and from what I understand threatened a lawsuit for wrongful termination (because manager had given him permission to do this.)  I'm not sure whatever happened to the case, but I do know the lab manager suddenly found another job on campus.   We then found out she spent 3/4 of the lab's budget within 4 months of the start of the fiscal year.    Almost 8 years later we're still finding things she screwed up.

I had a grad assistant from India.  I don't think this guy bathed, because he consistently smelled like a shat onion.  Fortunately though, I busted the guy in the lab looking at pr0n, so I was given a blessed reason to fire him, and then he wanted to argue with me about why he shouldn't be fired for that.  Thankfully, most of his rant was unintelligible, so I was able to stand my ground, and reclaim my clean smelling work area.

Working on campus, yeah, that's a whole other ballpark of batshit there.

7 Years of Campus Support (small, third tier private lib-arts college). Full of EB's and rich folk's progy, too stupid to get into the right schools. For some reason, they all wanted to be Marine Biologists. Weird. But yeah, once I set up remote access software on my Macs, I'd just bring up a page full of lab machines almost every time, there was someone looking at porn. A quick pop up message asking the student to use their personal machines for this was usually enough to get them to stop. But some seemed to feel it was their god given right to use school equipment for such endeavors. EB's indeed.

When I was working in IT while I was in college I went to clear a paper jam in the lab that was open overnight. When I pulled out the stuck paper it was a porn story. Some kid's porn fic he was secretly printing in the middle of the night had gotten jammed and he'd freaked and ran.

Unfortunately for him, when the IT dept. heard about it they IDed the kid from the network logs and pulled his lab privileges.

The indian guy thingy. They do shower but they also use different perfumes, BUT the big part is their diet.
They eat many spices which secrets out in their body.

Have had people at some places I worked that stank to high heaven but unless they changed their diet,no shower in the world would change their smell.
