Blocked!

And I don't mean a volleyball block! Some dude in the company IT department has decided he would make my life a living nightmare by blocking all the websites I use! (Well, its more likely a programme that noticed the increased traffic to unauthorised sites and blocked it, but I prefer blaming a person!) I've had to resort to posting to my blog this way, which I've never done before and is pretty annoying.

So, I am no longer able to acees the following:

- UCC Webmail
- NY Times
- Blogger.com
- O2
- Hotmail
- Gmail

Any any other site that downloads ads from another website e.g. doubleclick.net

It was bad enough that the internet here at this company, that shall remain nameless, lest I get fired for complaining about it, was possibly the slowest internet connection known to mankind, but now they wont even allow me sit staring at the status bar for half an hour waiting for a simple page to load. I guess its going to raise my productivity, but hell, its pissing me off even more, which will probably reduce my productivity to below "pre-unblocked-internet" times.

In conclusion, I hope you're happy IT department!
