My work has blocked...
Not TK
Not FB
Not YouTube
Not Flickr
They blocked the entire farfing internet. Except work websites. I can't even google anymore. Or check the weather. I work in a basement cubicle. How am I supposed to know that it's raining out?
This has been a hell of a day. I hope others have been better.

Re: My work has blocked...
What's ironic is I hadn't even been on any personal websites all day because I was so busy. I didn't notice something was wrong until I tried to access a website to send a client a proposal. That's right, they didn't even think about the fact that some of our work is done on the internet. They blocked everything. So now it's on us to tell them what sites we need access to to do our jobs. Wouldn't it have made more sense to just block FB and other social sites? Instead of the whole damn internet?
Ok, well I get that there may be websites out there that you don't want us using during work hours. (Hmmm I see him on FB all the time). But to prevent us from doing our jobs because you all didn't think it through. We can't order supplies. We can't schedule a FedEx pickup (I guess we could if we called them, but why when I can just do it online?). We can't give guests directions. We can't order business cards. The list goes on and on. Really? Not one person thought this all the way through did they? Prime example of putting the cart before the horse. (I think that's the right saying I want there) :-)

My Chart
My work blocks anything that sounds porn-y (including Victoria's Secret -- boo), radio stations and all of the shared photography sites. But FB and twitter, youtube and social media are left on. Go figure.
I need good job vibes more than ever now that I'm starting to apply so I can move up to the DC area with Lucas sooner rather than later.
Bloggy Mel.
[QUOTE]Yeah Mica when I was teaching Health I used to try googling current articles and things to give my students randomly for assignments. However whenever we were in the STD unit, or the family planning unit, every search I did came back as "pornography."

I've had similar issues when I was trying to look up gyn stuff. Believe it or not, a google search is usually faster than a medline search, but work blocks so many of the results. It's stupid.

Yeah, we have anything streaming (like youtube, pandora) blocked because it eats bandwidth. And I often get a "blocked" page for some other random things. Like I was trying to look up information about my local gay pride parada once and it came back as "pornography." But it actually said something like "Pornography: gay and transgender content." <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" />

[QUOTE]BS. Please to be finding a new job. I find this situation of you not knotting from work to be unacceptable.

I too find it unacceptable. How am I going to keep track of all you ladies? I'm going to be so lost when I can actually come on at night.
I would just like to know who else they blocked. I know the four coordinatos in our office. My CW called one of the sales managers and told them what was happening and she was going to check with the sales coordinators. The IT guy just said he was given a list of T-Numbers.
I know they blocked FB at one of my old properties because I know people that still work there. I can get around not having FB. I can't even look up the local news.
My customers at Psmart used to get so irate because we didn't have access to anything on the internet, except Petsmart.com. They would also ask me to look up directions for them, or if I had the phone number for another store (just google it) and refused to believe that we didn't have internet access.
School just blocks annoying crap. Fb/twitter is blocked but not youtube. Pandora is blocked for streaming though and now we have itunes installed on the computers. a lot of porn sites aren't blocked (according to students) but most of the computer help forums are blocked for being "unsavory/gamer site".
