I'M BORED

[laurelbay]

I know my boss told me when I was hired that there would be (sometimes extended) periods where I wouldn't have anything to do

Is that a "you can't do it" rule or a "it's blocked at the firewall and you won't be able to get there" thing? I can help circumvent the latter.

[laurelbay]

Both. I had access to it up until last week, at which point a firewall block and warning page came up in my system. You have to ask for permission (and provide a business reason) to get to it.

I'm pretty sure getting around it would qualify me for termination, and as much as I would like a new job, I won't force myself into one. :>

Good point, no call for sticking your neck out if you don't need to.

I haven't worked anywhere they've gotten that nazi about things, but all of my web traffic is encrypted so from the network administrator's perspective it doesn't appear that I do *any* web surfing of any kind.

If you do decide to start writing, writely.com is the bomb.

[laurelbay]

writely.com? Hmm.

[xinu]

Aye, good for the online composition and collaboration.

[laurelbay]

Well, the account has been created.

Now I need to figure out what to write about.

[irrrch]

this is my problem, and where homework, coursework, magazine and gazing at eye candy come in.
Alternativly you would write a novel, sooo much more productive *takes note* x

[laurelbay]

But that only works if you know what to write!

I have downtime at work sometimes, too, and I tend to do a lot of reading. I'm wary about doing too much web surfing, but I bring in things to read on my handheld or on a little usb zip drive. Also, I fiddle around with my exercise & weight-loss related spreadsheets.

And, you know, plotting evil schemes. ;)

Evil! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVILLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
