commotiocordisFunny story.
My computer account at school got disabled today. Wanna know why? Because the website I was trying to watch a documentary on a few days ago required Firefox, so I didn't think before downloading it and saved the install file onto my account on the computer. The installation didn't work (they've got some kind of new block, idk), but I forgot to delete the install file, so they got all pissy and disabled my computer access. Completely.
LOL, it is totally my fault, because I didn't think before downloading it (because that's what I had to do on my home computer), and you're not supposed to install things, but hell. It's not like I was using to try to bypass the filters or anything and download pr0n, I wanted to watch a bloody documentary. (And possibly also Birds of Prey episodes, but we're not going to mention that.) Plus, the installation didn't work. The install file was just still there.
For all the things that they could have hit me with in regards to my computer account. You know? I mean, I've got a couple of saved fics on there (some that have been on there forever) for something to read when I've got nothing else to do, and they could smack me for that not being school related if they wanted to. If I was going to get my account disabled for any reason, I'd figure it would be that one. (Though depending on if they decide to audit the rest of the stuff on there, I could still get smacked for that. Which I'm not looking forward to, though I do have a good reason--one of my friends is doing his thesis on fanfiction, and I've been collecting samples for him because he wants diverse material but stays mostly to anime fandoms himself.)
So I don't know when/if I can get it switched back on, which is not good, as I've got application stuff and the beginning of my english paper and an independent investigations paper in there that I need to get to with all haste. I'm going to be trufax pissed if they wipe my account because of this, because I'm going to lose a lot of stuff that I really need (as the school computer tends to have the most final drafts of most of my papers because I fix/finish/print them there).
