Yakezie is Blocked at my Job Now | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Wow! Do they simply block all non work related sites that employees visit, or is there something about Yakezie that they don't like? We used to use Trend Micro and it would block random sites that were not dangerous or offensive in any way!

You could proxy your way around it.

Wow! You would think you work for FBI or Pentagon… or something… what's up with all this blocking?

People gotta work! :P

All right then… back to work!

Yeah, everything is logged. If an employer need a reason to fire anyone, just check their system log….

I notice my work crawl through my site when I get on. Kind of creepy.

I don't work anywhere important (like the government or anything).  They're just super strict and love to treat us all like children.  I used to use proxies but they implemented a rule that if you try to go around their blocks on work computers in any way, they will immediately fire you.  I'll be getting a smart phone soon so this won't be an issue, but until then, I'll just be using my free time to write more posts instead.  Woot for being scheduled a month in advance!  LOL.  :-)

D'oh! That stinks for the rest of us because we loved your advice! Well, hopefully you'll still add some great info in the mornings and at night! :)

Oh no worries!  I'm still reading every single thread!!!  It's just taking up my evenings, lol.  :-)

I just realized that some of you may not have read about me and my job before and I sound like a complete slacker.

Here's a quick breakdown:  I work in a cubicle doing a job that takes 6 months of training to just understand (and I am actually pretty smart), 2 years to master, and then is completely mindless (I listen to audio books while doing it with no problems at all).  My work comes in waves and there is usually and hour or two in between them that I literally have nothing I can do.  I mean nothing…even the cabinets are cleaned by someone else.

I make $35,000 a year to do this job and that's a huge improvement over the $26,500 I started at 5 years ago.  I was job hunting for a while and then realized that I want to blog full time and this job enables me the time to pursue that.  :-)

So, I am whining, but I am not slacking at work, promise.  My tickets are done on time, usually days early, and my customers love me (at least, they write me nice letters once in a while).  I'm just whining that I don't get to hang out with you all as often any more, lol.
