Stuck in Training

I'm im another corporate training room learning about another new software system in slow motion. It's like that first day of school where you are supposed to learn the alphabet but unbeknownst to your teacher, your parents have already taught you how to read, and despite what everyone else thinks, you think Dostoyevsky is a hack. This is my punishment for getting a degree in Computer information Services and failing to pursue a career in it, but I digress.

Today's observation of the day has to do with screen savers. Can someone please explain why humans have the need to keep the screen saver from kicking in.

Here we are, twenty of us, listening to a lecture/power point presentation for an hour. But every ten minutes as the screen saver kicks in on each and everyone of our terminals, each and every person feels the need to jiggle their mouse to keep the windows login screen up on their monitor.

I mean, if you aren't using the damn screen let it be. They didn't invent the screen saver for your pleasure and torment. You aren't going to use the damn machine AND, !AND! if you were, all you would need to do is, that's right, jiggle the mouse and viola, instant gratification!

It's like a five year old tormenting the kitty that just wants to sleep.

I have pet peeves, and this is one.
