Oooh, that stinks, doesn't it!!! I'm having the same problem at my job. I can only use the internet during lunch and breaks! It's so frustrating, especially since all my work is done well and correctly at the end of the day! Who is it hurting?!? I set my user profile up so that I get an email when someone responds to a post I participated in. That way I can click on the link in the email, read the post, quickly scan some others and maybe post again! , all while on the email server rather than the network server...So far, it works although a bit slow and I'm sure they will catch on eventually!!!! Anyway, it's my form of protest!! Corporate America is really starting to turn into Big Brother aren't they!!? What happened to trusting and respecting your employees and treating them like human beings!!?? Anyway, that's my 2 cents! Diane, hope to see you again on board soon!
