OMG! That's terrible!!! It isn't like a thing they're doing for a while only to be be gone in a week? Well that sucks:x

Buuut at least you do have text mgs. I know its not the same, and I won't expect a reply as soon as you usually reply;)

Hopefully you have a full QWERTY board on your new phone?!

From:

Nope. The filters are going to be on for the long haul. It sucks. I can only get onto about 5 of the sites I normally read every day.

At least we figured out that I can reply to comments through my email. It's something, I guess. I hate being completely out of the loop.

Nope, no Qwerty board on my phone. it's okay. I'm pretty fast with the keypad.

2 words - GOOGLE READER

might help

From:

Yeah, I'm hoping it might work. Now that I'm actually home, I'm adding things I have syndicated on my f-list to Google Reader. I'll find out tomorrow if it works!

From:

OMG CAPSLOCK OF WTF GET OUT!!!!!!

Are you able to get into email and do comment replies?

From:

I can get into my email, but I don't know if the comment replies work. We'll see if this gets there, I guess. =/

SO MUCH FAIL!

From:

IT WORKS! I agree with lafemmezilla though, WTF? That always smacks of nannying to me. Blech.

From:

OMG UR STALKING ME.

CARRY ON.

From:

The official quote we got was:
"Over the past few years, Internet use has increased dramatically at [stupid work place]. Unfortunately most of the increase is due to non-business activity, which negatively impacts business applications.

Therefore, URL filters have been deployed to better manage Internet use. The URL filters track sites visited, as well as who visits them. Access to many non-business sites will soon be blocked. "

Boo.

From:

"Negatively impacts business applications" LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

NO, REALLY IT KEEPS YOUR EMPLOYEES FROM GOING INSANE, LIKE HOW DRINKING USED TO DO BACK IN YE OLDEN DAYS.

Obvs the answer is to take up drinkin at work.

From:

Oh man. Back when this was a tiny company, they actually kept beer in the fridge. I WANT THAT PLACE BACK!

I'm still convinced I could bring those Sparks things in and no one would know that they're not an energy drink.

From:

DO EEEET. My sister used to work in a really boring phone-talking place (I think it was loan consolidation) and they would get Big Gulps at lunch time and half-fill them with hard likker. I still cannot believe they never got caught.

The workday goes a lot more smoothly when you don't care about the shitty customers because you're buzzed, I bet. I WANT TO TEST THIS OUT.

From:

I'm sure the day would be a whole lot better if I was buzzed. MAYBE I WILL TEST THIS ON FRIDAY.

From:

I got it!

Well, is better than nothin I guess. At least you're not completely incommunicado. :/

From:

I just feel lost without having my f-list around all day. Things are happening and I don't know what they are!

From:

Here's what's going on with me: I BOUGHT CUPCAKES.

Also, LJ comment notifications seem right slow right now. BOO. :(

From:

I've eaten like four cookies already today. And I'm sure I'll soon be digging into my candy stash.

The only good thing is that since I have free time now, I can actually clean out my Outlook so it doesn't have thousands of unneeded messages in it.

From:

Here's what's going on with me: I'M STALKIN LAFEMMEZILLA AND AM GOING TO SNATCH THE CUPCAKES FROM HER LITTLE PAWS TWO SECONDS AFTER THEY ARE DELIVERED.

Also I married Yyyyantoe. And we live in Wyoming.

From:

Here's what ALSO goin on with me: I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A NEW HAIRDO AND I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO OUT IN THIS CRAP RAIN. EW.

I'm gonna have to screencap all these at the end of the day and just post it in my own LJ, since I haven't rly updated except for cupcakes.

From:

I WAS THINKING OF CUTTING MY HAIR THIS WEEKEND!

I am an even better stalker than ANYONE KNEW.

From:

I NEED A NEW HAIRDO LIKE WHOA. My hair is like two different lengths and it looks ridiculous! Maybe this weekend!

From:

GET YOUR FILTHY PAWS OFF MY YANTOE!!!111!!!

From:

HE TASTES LIEK PTERODACTYL AND GUINNESS.

Oh wait, I am getting mixed up with lafemmezilla's cupcake icon and your Yyyyanto picture.

BUT IT STILL SOUNDS DEELISHUS SO WE WILL GO WITH IT.

From:

I had a LIKE WHOA sex dream about the lovely Gareth David-Lloyd the other night and I woke up all dazed and hot and bothered. TMI? Whatever. But I don't think he tasted like Guinness in my dream. Cupcakes maybe.

NOW I WANT A BEER CUPCAKE

From:

Only TMI because I am JEALOUS AS FUCK bb.

I just want a cupcake. I have... a Luna bar? SOB.

From:

SOMETIMES I HATE HIS GIRLFRIEND. Which I realize is totally irrational. But sometimes I hate her anyways. Because I am actually about twelve years old.

I have Twizzlers Sours, which are good but still not cupcakes.

From:

It is A) completely rational; B) only temporary because he has not met me, uh, I mean you of course; C) the reason I do not learn about my pet actors' personal lives, because I like to pretend they DO NOT HAVE THEM because they are just waiting for the right person (ME OF COURSE).

From:

DENIAL IS FUN. TOTES.

Here you go:

BEER CUPCAKES using none other than Guinness Beer!!!

http://gigicakes.blogspot.com/2007/03/guinness-cupcakes.html

Hope the link works, if not whatevs!

...and I'm not this adventurous or that great of a baker so I probably won't be making these, but I have to admit they sound kinda good. I wonder if it would change my feelings about Guinness?!

Noooo! I'm sorry, that is truly vile. :(

From:

cyberwuzzle.livejournal.com

If that had happened to me while I'd been at my day job, I would have ritually stabbed myself with my letter opener.

Condolences.

From:

It has not been the most enjoyable day, that's for sure. Thankfully, I do not have a letter opener nearby.

From:

moryssa.livejournal.com

Awww. :( Feel free to send me email... I'll do what I can to entertain, although I don't promise anything. :) moryssa at hotmail, or I think you have my work addy, too, from some Rock Boat-related message that Jaime sent out. I can give it to you if you need it, though. :)

Only thing going on in my life is that I'm in a weird pissed-at-the-world/want-to-break-down-and-cry mood with no real explanation. I can't even blame it on PMS, unless the "P" stands for "Post" in this case. :p

From:

Thanks. I'm not ready to resort to emailing everyone I know yet, but that may come in the future. ;)

From:

OH GOD that sucks :( I'd die without LJ at work.

From:

It's definitely not shaping up to be a good day.

SUCK!

NO KIDDING!

http://Jtunnel.com

:D

From:

Nope. Already tried that. All proxy sites are blocked too. =(

From:

taleya.livejournal.com

Jtunnel goes from A tunnel to Z tunnel....I used to just move down a letter when they blocked one.

There's also Firefox Portable, which you can run off a portable hdd or your ipod. Code your own proxy in there and voila.

From:

No, seriously. All proxy sites are blocked. They're using WebSense to do the blocking and it has them all. Every single one I tried this morning.

I already use Firefox Portable since they won't let us have Firefox and we can't install anything on our computers ourselves.

oh noes!! i am very sad for you!! I love being on Eljay during the day. Would a RSS feed reader on google or something work? I don't really understand those things but perhaps?

From:

I might be able to read some sites through my Firefox RSS reader. The problem is that I normally set everything up to read the feeds on my f-list, so it's all in one place for me. And I won't be home tonight to fiddle with things for work tomorrow. Ugh. This really bites.

From:

poo on them! I wish I could give you the interwebs-ignorance of my office (my boss doesn't know how to access the internet at her house without help). But hey, Matt Wertz concert for you, right? Fun!
