    They do the same thing where I work, but haven't blocked SRP yet.....
    Facebook, YouTube, guns, knives, work union sites all banned

    Stefan has it right though about the "you should be working, not playing", but hey they installed the computers and hooked up the internet...
    The way I work I'd never get anywhere to get anything - so it's a blessing to have it available

    They can't block our Union sites here. That would be a major event!

    At my work the Lightspeed software blocks all forums, as well as any site that mentions anything that could be construed as a weapon. Work is a public school system so I can kinda understand why.

    You also have to worry about big brother programs...you can be watched very well through your computer as they can document the amount of time you are active doing what. Keep that in mind when you are at work loafing & checking out non work related websites. I had this type of software installed on our server before I left for railroading. It can be a useful management tool if you have an employee that you need to let go & "need" a valid reason.
