I am too -- March 9th. And I've got a serious water-affinity too. And issues with my feet, which is also supposed to be a particularly Pisces thing. Heck if I know if or how they're really related. :)
How come you can't MU* from work now? Did they say don't, or block certain ports, or...? Maybe there's a way around it...
Blocking mostly. They haven't specifically forbidden me, but, by default the network blocks the telnet port (there may be a way around this, I'm not quite computer savvy enough to find it) and they have some annoying program called Websense installed that blocks access to websites that fall under certain categories (like games) so I can't use mosha (which apparently falls under games) to connect anymore. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to post or email them :)

Try downloading a ssh program (SecureCRT is my fave) and see if the ssh port is open. If so, the machine you usually telnet to may well have ssh available, which would let you MU* again.
I ssh to my server and then use tf, personally.
Another possibility could be that if they've only blocked the telnet port, you could try using simpleMU* or something similar that connects directly to the games -- that's more dangerous, though, because if they watch the connections they'll see things like denver.darkalliance.org 2000!
I thought of trying Simplemu, since I use it at home, but I don't know the SOCKS address for this network and (believe it or not) I don't know how to find it out. I probably couldn't download it anyway, since I'm willing to bet that the site is blocked.
And now I'm having problems connecting to AIM.com, to use AIM express, but that might just be then, since I'm not getting a message that it's blocked by the evilness that is Websense.
