Default websense and 2+2 at work

My firm recently sent out a firmwide memo stating that our internet usage was being monitored and anything relating to internet gambling or pornography was off limits.

they are using a software program called websense to track it, and I feel so lost without being able to browse 2+2 during downtime at work. It's certainly not a productivity issue for them, it's just a liability issue - i think someone in the firm got in trouble for doing something illegal, but not positive.

in any event, I haven't been able to hang around here for almost a month and wanted to see if I am completely out of luck. anyone familiar with websense? will 2+2 be classified as a gambling site and flagged? My job is certainly more important than being able to browse here, but I would love to do both.

I think I am probably just totally out of luck, but wanted to ask the great brain trust here to make sure.

thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.
