When we do overnight shifts I think everyone who works there would go mad without the internet, and I don't think it will ever get blocked. So, I don't feel your pain but I can see how that would be highly irritating. I am lucky as NOTHING is blocked at my work!

Ridiculous - and I was going mad, because I couldn't "escape" :) There's those proxy servers too - you go to a proxy site, and go through THAT to access stuff that's blocked... Haven't tried one, so can't give an example (useful post this is...), but I have heard they work...

I don't think I could concentrate on anything if I couldn't take 5 minute breaks to check my blog every few hours. sad day!

Turns out though, that you can look at sites through Google Reader. Google is never going to be blocked so it worked really well. As for writing while at work, I used to send myself e-mail using web-based mail. Then when I got home I could alter the publishing time and put it up. Or tweak it and leave the time alone. Or you could just work. Whatever. ;) My boyfriend had the same problem at his work. Turns out though, that you can look at sites through Google Reader.

And I agree with blocking everything like that in workplaces. Ours doesn't and it gets abused as I'm sure it does everywhere. OMG you're funny!

For some reason, I CAN access your blog from work but I can't access any of that other stuff you mentioned (facebook, wordpress, etc). It really makes the work day much more tedious. At least I can access a few good blogs, like yours. But if your employer is now cutting into your blogging time...don't they realize how that will affect people like me who depend on your blog?? Tell them I object! I know how you feel! For some reason, I CAN access your blog from work but I can't access any of that other stuff you mentioned (facebook, wordpress, etc).
