Gentle readers,
I've been pretty fucking lazy lately. That and i have to wait until I get home to post to my own blog. One reason for this is my employer's new policy of watching us while on line to make sure we're not spending all our time finding new ways to download porn around their very stout firewall.
Jesus.
OK, I'll admit, I like pictures of boobies as much as the next guy, unless he's gay; but, do I spend every waking hour finding pictures of men and women in various states of coital pleasure? No. Actually, there's something insidiously gay about seeing some dude's junk flopping around, even if it is doing the ol' in and out. Don't get me started on guys who like watching anal sex. Just believe me when I say, I ain't into the whole internet porn thing.

So, my school district decides it's a good time to become Big Brother and watch us as we go online. Well, they're going to get pretty bored watching me. I visit about 4 websites regularly: Crossfit (www.crossfit.com), T-Nation (www.t-nation.com), Fark (www.fark.com), and of course, The Art of Dan Silver (www.theartofdansilver.com). Nothing there that's going to set off bells and whistles. But get this; if we leave a window open with Internet Explorer running, it generates an exception report. Said report is given to our principal and we get called up for a spanking. Sweet! Our kids are struggling to write their own name, and I know why!! Their teachers are busy looking at nekkid women in chat rooms or something like that.

Hey, I know there has to be someone out there breaking the rules like mad to cause such a knee-jerk reaction. The question is, is it really that bad? I guess so, because why would an employer go to such extreme, Third Reich-like measures to protect themselves? I guess I don't have a pot to piss in on this one, but it bothers the shit out of me that they want to look over my shoulder like this.

Hey, bosses! Look at the test scores of my kids. Pretty nice, huh. So cut me a break and look over there. I think that guy is looking at the SI swimsuit edition on-line. Pervert.
