Turning A New Posting Leaf

by Joe on March 29, 2006

It’s going to get boring. I think half the time I never post because of this pressure I put on myself to post something witty and/or pithy (that was for Dave). Well no more! If I pick my nose and turn up something interesting, you’re gonna read about it. The sad flip side to that is I have nothing witty and/or pithy to say.

We’ve lost our Internet surfing ability here at work because the powers that be decided to install WebSense, which is a $12K corporate net nanny. Fortunately, at least for now, TwoDinks.com slips through the tight grip of the man. They claim the average person who has Internet access at work spends 17 hours per week on the Internet. That’s 17 hours that could have been spent standing on the ramp smoking and bull-shitting (I work at a Ford dealership). I laugh at their 17 hours of web surfing. I spend no less than 30 hours a week web surfing. But I guess it’s an average and some of my co-workers are clearly light weights.

Dave adds…

See now, that was both witty and pithy.

Hey, welcome to the web nazi websense club! I’ve been living under the iron fist of the IT regime for several years now, where the IT SS goose step over to the server 5 times a day to spy on what we’re looking at then firewall any page that may look interesting, funny or remotely sports related. God forbid we check the Sox score. Of course we just go turn on ESPN then.

Ah, the illusion of control.

I had no idea websense was so damned expensive. I can’t believe it’s twelve grand, and I’m stunned the Village paid that much for it.
