Spite-filled Pre-Christmas Rant

I'd just like to take a minute to say it was nice to know you all. I've had a good run keeping up (somewhat) with this blog, but I'll probably be completely unable to access the Internet at all aside from my company's website. Heck, I might even be banned from that. If I don't get fired, and blogger doesn't get blocked completely, then this post will just serve as a testament to my hatred for web blocking software.

If you, as a company, simply must block the Internet from your workers, please stick to things that might be harmful to your business. I can understand blocking myspace, because honestly, I hate it too. I can understand blocking filehosting sites. We don't want delicate company files uploaded anywhere, and we don't want scary viruses on our computers. I can mostly understand blocking YouTube, Hulu, Facebook, and even my beloved Twitter. But when I am searching for something that is business-related, and your stupid blocking software tags "batteriesnmore.com" (probably not a real site) as "sex" or "inappropriate content," I hold the IT department personally responsible for me being unable to do my job. This place makes me want to punch adorable things. Go ahead. Fire me. I don't even care that we're in a recession. I will work at effing Starbucks, where at least they don't block you from using the espresso machine.

Edit: A westie pile to make me feel better.
