I'll miss you guys.

I normally post from the office on my laptop. My buddy in IT told me today that the company is finally going to start tracking internet usage.

It was inevitable of course, and I knew it was coming. But I do so love the distraction...

Bummer.

At least, for me.

I'm totally bummed with you! or ... at the thought of "without" you, rather.



... I've been waiting for that to happen at my office, I figure it's coming soon.

The sneaky thing is that they aren't telling anyone. I just happen to have a guy on the inside that let me know.

But it wouldn't be that big of a deal. As of Thursday, when I try to access Lit it will just put up a screen that says "Access To This Site Has Been Denied."

So they are installing Websense huh? Bummer.
 
That sucks. I'm lucky that I work at a small company and know more about the computers than anyone else. Hope you can find another distraction.

Every good IT department have a secret Wireless connection out....A few beers here and there normally work well :rolleyes:
 
Get internet on your cell.

Attach to laptop.

Use cell internet to look at porn.

Done.
 
You packed in the morning and I
stared out the window and I
struggled for something to say
You left in the rain
without closing the door
and I didn't stand in your way

But I miss you more than I
missed you before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
because you left me
just when I needed you most.
 
Dude that sucks. I expect it to happen to me at work soon enough. Oh well. I will be here at night. Do these measures block IM programs? I actually use msn for work purposes, but I have friends on there too.
 
Geez

What the fuck is with you anyway?????????????????

QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And post here

Whats more important??????????????????
 
bummer.

our company is so anal that they even track e-mail content.

so much for hot and heavy cyberflirting from work - these people have no sense of romance, I tell ya...

IT deletes IM programs like Yahoo and MSM as soon as a workstation installs them.

The official reasoning is "bandwidth conservation" but the real reason is obviously they don't want guys like me doing things like I'm doing.

One guy I knew from a local theater was fired because he was looking at porn. So one day his boss calls him in the office and asks what he was using the computers for. Of course he lied, and the boss shows him screenshots of all the places he was with timestamps.

yup. I never access this place from work. And I keep my e-mails fairly benign. *sigh*...

That sucks ass. A lot of computers come with those programs installed on them. They don't even use those for inter office communications?

But, do you get your work done? Totally sucks, but, it is work right.

Jesus.
I should delete this.
I don't know what's worse. That this song was the first to come to mind after reading your post or that I know all the words.

Yeah. He should quit and come work for me. I could set him up with a computer in the corner (nice window view) of my office and we could look at porn and do Lit. all day. :cool:
