There's a freaking ghost typist in this lab

[EyeMWing]

I babysit a public computer lab and fly the helpdesk for just a little bit above minimum wage. I don't get off work for another... 40 minutes. I'm here alone. Everybody else has left. And yet I can very distinctly hear one of the computers, just out of my view, typing away, and the chair creaking from time to time. It's one of the ones situated so I can't see it because my monitors are in the way. From time to time, I'll peek up over them just to reassure myself nobody is there. And there never is. And the typing and such stops just for that moment. I've tried VNCing into each machine to see WTFBBQHAT is going on, if anything. Nothing.

The closing shift creeps me out.

Naw man, I mean the computer login. In order to get a login, you have to show me some photo ID and I'll toss 'ya onto the Active Directory beast here. I can't see this ghost dude, so I can't get his damn ID, so he can't log in to the computers. He just sits there and types.

 

[cherrytwist]

Haha...I work with a girl in TAPS.

WTF is TAPS?

 

[rocadelpunk]

i'm pretty sure the ghost is harmless.

99.9% of nerds are harmless in living form.

i say

install worms world party on the computer and have at it.

 

[KingofCamelot]

Why not go try to sit in the chair at that computer? Maybe if you stay there long enough the ghost will go away. Last time I checked ghosts were harmless...of course last time I checked I didn't believe in ghosts.

Because, dude. That's teh disrespect. There's a story behind this, which I'll post up when I get home. I gotta close up shop here, in the mean time.
