Love the read on thrash metal on that site!

I was too afraid to go to sites like that when I worked. I tried to stick to things that were a bit more safe for work like hockey forums and wikipedia. Though when I interned, I went to the Tucker Max Message Board a lot.
lol, I was the same, man. Then, I discovered our IT guy was a big time stoner and could care less as to what we surf. Just so happened that "Big Brother" gave him a list of sites that were blocked and would trigger a red light when anyone would try to access them. So, being a good friend that he is, he passed them onto me as a heads up. For example, I can't access ebay.com or ebay.ca But tonight, I made a purchase on ebay.co.uk for a Vanek 40th T-Shirt with no problem

In my position, I'm supposed to bust the chops of those who frequent sites which aren't permitted on the floor. But shit, who am I to do so? Wait, I do that anyway. I guess that makes me a bastard/asshole after all
Side note, anyone wanting the read.. Here is the thrash metal link from cracked.com

Yeah at my internship, I don't think they had a dedicated IT person, just someone else in a different job that helped out with IT stuff when necessary. I know when the internet went down (which brings can engineering firm to a screeching halt since all the software licenses don't work) they contracted someone to fix it. I don't even know if they had any sort of filter, I don't remember anything being blocked, but I tried to keep it relatively clean.
At my actual job, I ran into our filter a ton of times, most of them during lunch and most of them on accident (i.e. trying to get resident info to call regarding a proposed easement from yellowpages.com and getting blocked for trying to access a "social networking" site.)
