Now to get ready for work. We have a board meeting tonight and a bunch of citizens have signed up to talk to the board ahead of time about internet access in the libraries. We have the best block on the internet that is available and they don't seem to understand that it can't possibly catch everything and there are sites that people find objectionable but are not "gasp" porn or illegal (such as the pictures coming through on this thread). Oh what fun in the libraries. I'll need some BT chatter this evening after sitting through all that. And I need to write a self evaluation on myself for my boss who will then rewrite it for my review. Think I can brag about my accomplishments on BT? Heh...I love the fact that libraries provide free internet access...I'll occasionally camp out there at lunch, so I can cruise BT and eBay outside of the office...read: guilt-free (hee, hee)... Funny...it's self-evaluation/review/accomplishments time here where I work too...does BT count as technical community networking? We do talk some technical stuff right?...swimming TECHNIQUE, stretching, graphics technology, motivation for accomplishing goals... that all works for me not to mention the fact that I work in ecommerce, so - I can count it as research on social networking - right? LOL |

And my department has a constant battle going with the IT department..... D001 - 2007-11-12 11:27 AM We unblock sites all the time that are medical, etc. Check with your library to see if they have a system set up to unblock sites. Filters are not perfect and those that they are intended to block are always looking for ways to get around the filter. Constant battle, but I guess it keeps someone in business.kns57 - 2007-11-12 11:35 AM Okay, got my 3 mile run/walk in and 3 miles on the bike. Now to get ready for work.

They've blocked a lot of sites here that they really shouldn't have. It annoys all of us. For example: medical information, science and health information, etc.... A lot of it isn't available. Or, it's available without any pictures/diagrams/charts. Ahhh! Drives me crazy. Now I'm wondering why we haven't been asked to do our self-evaluations yet. I know it's coming. I think we do them in December, actually. Oh joy.... i can relate |

Per Admin's request IT placed a block on all sites involving the sports (trying to keep people off of ESPN and fantasy league stuff) Problem is sports is our job in recreation. For two weeks we couldn't access websites that we order equipment from, couldn't access coaching websites that we reference all the time, couldn't even log into our internet registration site (that was the real kicker). It did everything but totally shut down our division. Well, I guess I should get to work. I think I'm the only one in the office that showed up today (Veteran's Day). My office is a MESS after just throwing everything around last week during the tournament, never really put things where they belonged (I even have a CrockPot on one of my desks). Haven't checked my voicemail since last TH, I'm sured it's backed up ( I hate voicemail!!) Maybe a little music will make me productive. HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY, HECTOR! (even though you're still enlisted) |

I'm doing a bunch of spreadsheet work... so, I need a distraction.

Wasn't in the mood to run this morning, but I did the treadmill anyway and ended up with a kick a$$ session. Speaking of kick a$$ sessions, have a good time at TEAM tonight! |
