Fuck you VPN

Fuck you VPN! Fucking CUNTivity client of motherfucking hell!! I haul my ancient brick laptop home, try to do my work, TRY to be efficient and what do I get?

So you know what? Just-

DIE

Now that my rage spasm has passed, it is obviously a very stressful time for me. I failed to appreciate how my teachers used to handle this examination mark (grades) entry before the COCKpit (an aptly named knowledge management system for the education system) era. Technology doesn't help make our lives easier. Not yet and not always. When it comes to knowledge managements systems for something as massive as the Singapore Education System, we still know too little about human information processing for us to make the system a help more than a hinderance. The intentions are good, believe me, and I'm sure it speeds up data collation. The problem is that it is often an extremely roundabout process to even enter the data in the first place.

It takes me about 10 minutes to even login to the system to access the intranet. 10 minutes! Do you know how long that is in Internet Years? 10 minutes can get me 5 songs off the web - 10 minutes can load a 30 minute video off Youtube - 10 minutes, at 100mbps, should transfer up to 60,000mbs of data. Why do I have to wait 10 minutes to send probably 100b of data just get into a system to spend 5 minutes updating 1 absent pupil's attendance record EVERY DAY? It just doesn't make sense - and now I have to haul home bricktop to key in marks because I refuse to learn the HIGHLY complicated method of downloading the Excel file that will allow me to key in marks without logging into the system; because, considering the economy of time, the amount of time spent LEARNING how to download, use, and upload that file's data, could have been spent typing shit into the system immediately.

Then you get fuck-ups like this that just negate any benefit of using the system because you can't. fucking. use. the system.

So you know what? Fuck it. Fuck it all. I will play Prince of Persia and I don't care.
