This just in. We now have a visual of the "Ethernet Monster" who has been terrorizing school networks and making Mondays hellish-on-Earth for IT personnel everywhere. The suspect suffers from uncontrollable fits of hunger and is unable to detach itself from, well, just about everything. We must warn you that this is only an artist's representation of the suspect (and he's not very good) and cannot be responsible for any nightmares that may result in its viewing.

THE ETHERNET MONSTER

Considered Ugly & Extremely Fast

Mischief Mondays

That’s it!  I am tired of the chaos that occurs every Monday morning.  Computers no longer work or are unplugged, wireless is unavailable, printer cartridges are empty and teachers are rightfully upset.  I am perplexed about the shenanigans that occur each weekend and I am determined to find the answer.    

The decision was made.  Armed with my sleeping bag, cooler and an extra-large cup of coffee, my weekend would be spent at GLTS.  I wanted to see what was invading the school so I hid the Technology Department office until everyone one was gone.  The furnish shut down a couple of hours ago and the building is starting to get cold and I am beginning to feel a chill run up my back.  I quietly snuck out of the office and crawled down the hall. Finally, everyone was gone and the security guard was quietly nested in his chair. I suspect a nap is soon to come.

Suddenly, I heard a bang.  I flew in the direction of the noise. Was it coming from the Technology Department?  I opened the door and bam, it hit me.  I couldn’t believe my eyes.  This little creature was less than a foot tall and had a dark green, long and lean body with a flabby belly.  His brown head looked like a round, hairy ball plopped on a brown rubbery neck with two yellow glowing eyes bouncing around on long tentacles.  They looked almost like flash lights.  His black hands and feet protruded from long, skinny hairless arms and legs.  Each finger and toe is several inches long, chubby and contains a suction cup. I suspect they help him stick to the walls and air ducts as he scurries about the school. His long pink puckered lips held bits of chewed Ethernet cable.

As soon as he got his wits about him, he turned on his suction cup feet and was off like a flash.  I could hear the suction cups for a just a second. He is fast!
