what is the world coming to when they take away our fantasy freedom?
i sent a pretty angry letter to the IT manager pretty much stating that they are only asking for a disgruntled work environment when they try and dictate things like this. For goodness sake, we even have an internet policy that allows surfing on breaks and lunches. this is the problem with beaurocracies :-t

Excuse me for differing, but you are paid to work. Time spent surfing the web is the company's time and the company's money that's going to waste. If I was your employer I'd be mad if I saw you looking at fantasy baseball during work hours. During lunch or breaks are different stories though.

Going out for drinks with the IT guys has been known to work wonders. :-D

My filter doesnt seem to care about baseball.
It does filter out the Onion, wrestling sites and all Japanese-English translation sites.
I can still google for porn though. ;-)
