Techno Time

Jim had a job in web software development. Every week, Jim only did about 15 hours of real work. Most of his days were usually spent in a chat room or just browsing the net. One day, the internet at Jim's office was shut down and Jim could no longer surf the web. For the first time in his life, Jim actually sat at his desk at did some work. It's amazing what one can get accomplished when the net is down. One the internet came back up, Jim started to surf the web again. He signed into his "the net" account and quickly joined a chat room. There were over 50 people in the chat room talking about random stuff that didn't pertain to the chat room topic at all. Some people were looking for dates while others were talking about the football game that was coming on later that day. Jim quickly jumped into the conversation and posted that he was at work and had nothing to do. Somebody quickly sent him an IM back that asked him for his age, sex, and location. Jim could not decide whether he should tell the person his real information or give some fake information. He decided that he would tell the person his real information because he figured that he might get a date out of the whole ordeal. The person responded back that they also lived in the same area as Jim and wanted to know if they could meet up later that day. Jim told the person to meet him at the public library at 6. Jim arrived at the library and waited there for 2 hours, but nobody ever showed up. Jim was disappointed that he wasted his time for nothing. He actually thought that he was going to get a date, but he was sadly mistaken. The person that he talked to was actually an undercover police officer. There was a new law in Jim's state that stated no person can meet up with somebody else through the internet. Jim was arrested and he told the court that he never meet anybody while we surfing the web. They let Jim go and he vowed he would never surf the web at work again.
