I realize that companies have to block innapropriate websites, but I feel that some of them go overboard with their filtering. If it's slacking off that they're worried about, then they could track which sites people visit, not just block everything.

maybe it's because that one might help you do your job? I mean, if the client asks if he can show up in a banana hammock do you really want to agree without being able to research it?

Nothing is blocked at our office, there's only 5 of us though and the others probably wouldn't know where to start :laugh:
