on tape.....

ok, so....there are many global happenings caught on tape of late, but the incident of most concern to is not in Chicago, or in Mumbai....but at eku/d-ville....i ran by at 5:00 pm to give the final a day early to a fellow with lots of mitigating circumstances...and while i waited for him in the staff area, the tech guy and the desk lady were going over the video-feed from the hidden cameras....seems a lady reported a book stolen from the computer lab....and the camera not only recorded her setting it down at the pc station along with other assorted stuff, but also showed her dashing off with her purse out of the room, another student approaching her stuff and student leafing through up her textbook, then putting it back down..... and the same student coming back in moments later and putting the textbook in between her own stack of books.....it was surreal to watch the tech guy slow-mo the feed to get the best possible full-face image of the thief...and to see him email that image to those who deal with security issues.....up until this evening, it had never occurred to me that there may be security feeds in my classroom.....and that should the health folks want to know exactly what time time call it a night- generally before the official quitting time..it would all be there on tape......on the bright side- should i need a record of a brilliant turn-of-a-phrase.....i will know who to call....
