Filter This!

This probably won't be the most exciting post in the world but it's venting time for me. At our office, in the past six months or so, they have decided that it is necessary to install a filter on certain items. These items are mostly anything that has streaming video or audio. When it initially happened, I was pretty upset because I had a subscription paid for to a music system that I had to cancel and no longer could use. So goodbye tunes to get me through the day!

And now, I'm upset because all I want is to see the speeches of John Kerry conceding and President Bush accepting. I have tried going at them from all directions and every time this stupid little box pops up that says it is filtered. I also am blocked from going into Snapfish so I still have yet to have time to caption and send out my pictures from the rally the other night. Very frustrating!!!! I find it funny that we still have access to virtually any website on the Internet (I don't have confirmation of that because I don't visit questionable sites but it appears that most sites aren't blocked in any way), but of course the few things I want to do are "filtered." Could they not lift the block for one day so we can see history happening? Of course not! The next thing that will happen will be that they will block this blog site and then I'll really be sad and upset!!!! Let's keep our fingers crossed that that doesn't happen at least.

Anyways, I guess that's all I have to say for now. Really wish they could be cool and let us watch the videos from our desks but I guess I will have to try to sneak to the kitchen on the other side if I want to catch a glimpse of Bush's speech. At least he won! :)

I'll try to finish up the pictures tonight after my dance class and then post the link on here tonight or tomorrow for those of you that want to see it! But beware of the possible filter blockage! ;)
