Tales from the Nuthouse: Lest You Think I have a Really Cool Job

[wolf]

The nuthouse has apparently decided that there are places we should not go ... online, that is. I'm sure the list of restricted sites will grow and grow, all we have left is the medical assistance verification system.

I noticed a new software install about two weeks ago of some firewall and content limiter. I noticed it mainly because it fucked up performance on my computer rather severely.

Then this week, it happened.

One of the ambulance guys announced that he couldn't get on Facebook. I don't particularly care about facebook. I don't use facebook. I've gone on my paranoid rant about facebook many times.

But then I needed something, to quell an argument about something extremely important and thoroughly inconsequential, searched for a video on youtube that would provide an answer and ...

I get the same message from IE that you get when a site is down.

Ambulance boi is already using an anonymizer to get to facebook. I have decided that youtube is not important enough to do the same, especially since we don't know what the penalty for defeating the stop you from fucking around on company time software is going to be.

I knew this was coming when they specifically blocked webkinz two years ago.

I really miss webkinz.
