To be fair, that's my general experience with IT.  It goes against my beliefs, but it does somewhat make sense as the solution requiring the least amount of effort.
I'm not sure what the policy of saving work there is, but often IT set up a network drive so that local disks can be wiped without losing work (or, more importantly, so that the data can be backed up - a hard disk failure would otherwise cause lost work too).

There lies the problem. There isn't a network drive at Woodstock Job Corps, because she doesn't know how to set one up. Which is why I specifically use one computer to do my work, since that's where most of it is saved. In the event someone uses it while I'm on my lunch break, I will save the file(s) to my portable external HDD, or just email it to myself.

Oh, and thanks! I'm currently enjoying my summer break. Although, every time I come home, I never know what to do with myself >.<
