MIA, but for a reason

[mousme]

They took away my internet at work.

WOE!

More specifically, they took away the stand-alone internet that I used to access LJ. My boss told me that I was specifically not to use LJ from my work station, because apparently it constitutes some kind of minimal security risk.

Fine. It's their show, and they pay me to work, so while I am sad, I will acquiesce without too much complaint. I'm just mildly peeved that other people are still apparently allowed to go onto their comics sites and car sites and sports sites, and that it's only LJ that's the supposed breach. All theoretical, for that matter.

Meh.


Anyway, that means that, for the most part, I won't be on LJ much when I'm working my night shifts. I usually come home, go to bed, and get up in time to eat and go to work again.

I missed some important news as a result, which suck. Congrats toughlovemuse and chibipunkdemon! I am not surprised, but I am thrilled! Of course, now I have more knitting to do...


In other news, Supernatural is still eating my brain, but I'm spreading the joy. I got two other coworkers hooked on the show. Hah! I am now at six conversions and counting. Bwah!

Gotta run. Be good, everyone!

I had Tim Horton coffee for the first time because my mom's friend gave it to her. I'm a little jealous of you Canadians.

I could see if they took away the internet universally, but to just block LJ when others are going to more suspect sites? I cry lame. They've blocked half of the world here, but have so far left LJ alone. I half wonder if I'm the only one to use it! LOL

Have to love the work blocking of sites. For us, it's Facebook. And of course, gotta love the night that we needed to call an employee who's number is not on the employee phone list (for various reasons) but *is* accessible through my facebook account. So, my boss is watching as I'm doing the whole facebook on my phone thing to get the number to make the call. And I'm going, it would have been a lot easier if I could just log on to the site.

I commiserate.

Work blocking LJ is the suckage. Especially when not blocking other things.

That sucks - not sure why LJ should be singled out.

In other news, did you know that Julia and I are up visiting Montreal from now until Saturday? I know you are really busy, but it would be great if we could find a time to see you.

I caved and picked up season 2 last week. Almost done :)

LJ has two-way communication (send and receive) whereas most sites like comics, car and sports sites are passive and only send data. I imagine that's the reason.
