    Well, it finally happened today. I no longer have free use of the internet at work. For the past 9 months, I've been largely alone, unsupervised, and able to abuse the 'net at will provided I got my work done. Now I've been moved to a different building and have many people looking looking over my shoulder all day. Plus having to run from area to area throughout has killed my 'recreational work surfing. (unless I work the night shift). There's no going back, the other building was temporary and is now closed. I'm gonna miss chatting throughout the day, post whoring, and providing an answer other than Miata. I'll be able to post from home, but it's tough to keep up with the latest when you can't watch all day. See next post for more tear inducing details.

    Wifi, laptop, more "restroom" breaks. I did similar at work on my Blackberry.

    Time for an iPhone. Probably 30% of my posts come from mine.

    Start your own business. Then you'll have all day to waste on the internet. Do it at home, you'll have all day and all night. Works for me.

    The automated net nanny where I work keeps blocking more and more websites each week. So far this one has slipped through the cracks, but I do most of my posts at night when the kids are in bed.

    Note to self: this isn't helping your insomnia!

    Id say 95 percent of mine. Except, strangely, this one. Know how to tell if a post came from an iphone or ipod? The P in iphone will be capitalized. At least mine. I dont usually bother to capitalize it when I type the name out on a PC.

    Laptop in the crapper. You'll succumb, eventually.
