Wow. I just had a major freak out.
Things are tightening up here at work with outside communication. We had to remove all messaging programs by today.
All of a sudden ALL of my outside communication was diabled. No AIM Express. No Gmail. No logging in to 2+2. Only approved corporate email and IM. I just got really confused, mad, sad all in a span of 5 minutes. It just allowed me back. I guess they shut down a port for a while. At one point, I wondered at what point would the absense of outside socializing during work hours make me so miserable that I would quit. I honestly couldn't see myself lasting more then a month.

Yea. We can use IMs, but only if they install some kind of tracking software on our terminal. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I honestly think less work would be done, and you would become the Freecell superstar.

Re: Wow. I just had a major freak out.
Our IT department basically shut down internet access during the most recent virus scare. We couldn't even access Google. It was brutal. The only website I could find that wasn't blocked was 2+2. It's like someone in IT was looking out for me. Or it was a trap and I'm getting fired very soon.

I feel you, a week or two ago all internet shut down periorically and the entire office was on the verge of massing into a spontaneous mob of angry villagers armed with pitchforks and torches.
