Firewall!

So, you may have read my blog and thought to yourself, "Gee, she does all this blogging at work. Doesn't she have better things to do?" The answer, of course, is yes. I need to IM friends, I need to search the net, I need to read other blogs, I need to tease my brother about his lack of computer skills. These are important, nay, VITAL parts of my working day.

But lately I have found that many a request I make to search the web results in a screen that simply says "REQUEST DENIED BY COMPANY FIREWALL." Excuse me? I wanted to read blog, not search for porn! I mean, really. I can't go look at a site where Biblical scenes are acted out by Legos? Apparently not - which makes the fact that I have bookmarked it as one of my favorites sorta moot.

I understand that our company is trying to prevent people from searching for porn on the net - this has, in fact, been a concern in the past here. But anything that is hosted by blogspot is now off-limits to me.

Where is the sense in all of this?

They can't possibly expect me to work all day, can they?
