eurgh.
ich habe so much work due in in the next couple of weeks.....
saying that, maybe it feels like a lot because we get used to doing less work at uni. i mean i remember doing hours of work and revision for a levels and not doing too badly whereas at uni 2 essays in 2 weeks feels like a massive amount..!
anyways, unrelated but i went to my former workplace (an internet cafe ) today to see my lovely lovelove and saw this lady walk in with her daughter. the girl was 15 at most (probably a lot younger) and she went on MSN. so did her mum.
all the way through, she was talking to boys and asking her mum what she should say to them
"mum e's arksing where i'm from, what shall i sayyy?"
"i dunnoo......you could say saaaahf (name of area) but london sounds good too. dunnoooo.."
yay go mummy! teach your kid to tell strangers where you live!
people still think that it's safe to be open with strangers online....it's really not!
(i know how hypocritical that sounds coming from me who's writing a blog but there's only so much i would reveal here...)
working at an internet cafe, we had to check customer's screens once in a while during their session to make sure that they weren't accessing anything illegal etc.
there was one guy, who worked for London Underground, that used to come in and tell schoolgirls that he was 16 and tried to get them to go on webcam. this guy was into his 30s...
another guy, who was white, wore a suit, glasses and was in his forties used to go on chatrooms and pretend he was a young, pregnant asian girl. sometimes he'd go into pregnant women fetish chatrooms so we banned him from doing that. from then on he went into young asian people's chat rooms and cybered with unsuspecting guys.
to put things in perspective, i must have checked maybe 20 people's screens working there (most people just came in for gaming so it wasn't really necessary) out of these 20 odd people, 2 of them did the things that i outlined above. i'm not saying 10% of the internet using population is sick but do i think it's better to be safe than sorry..
