Mini-Rant

[profiler_mar]

I swear, my work never wants us to have any fun! I work for the state of Texas, and I am honestly amazed that I can get on this website! FB and Twitter? Blocked. Blogger? Blocked. But not WordPress, which is odd. TLP- blocked- they seem to think the word Lilypad is inappropriate or porn or something. The CT forum for Trixie Scraps- you guessed it! Again it must be the porn thing. I can't have any fun here! I was so excited to get hootsuite to open, but guess what? We are still on IE 6 here, in the dark ages, and hootsuite won't run on that! So they did not have to block it b/c our web browser won't use it. And we can't DL any doftware to our systems. So all the fun I have tweeting with my girls has to be done after 5 PM. It's just not right I tell ya!

Ok, rant over. Thanks very letting me get it out!

Yeah, my work blocks everything fun, too. Anything with the word community in it is block. All blogs, etc. Its like they want us to work or something!

[profiler_mar]

I know, right?? They expect WORK from me?? What is that about??

To avoid the blockage at library or work i use http://anonymouse.org/ . You just put the address in the window and you can browse sites from inside anonymouse.. Its not illegal and won't put any virus in your pc. And they won't find out or sometimes i go to the Google translator page, put the site address in the field where they say translate this page and you can visit the site from Google.. You can try at home

mine has just started blocking things! Mostly blogs so far, but not all blogs and not bloglines - but even within bloglines some pictures are blocked. I don't take smoke breaks and I rarely leave for lunch so blog reading has always been my chance to take a minute to regroup. I'm just thankful we still have gmail and facebook!
