Things that make work days seem longer

Typical boring Monday here at the office...as I came in I knew it would come to this, but not as fast as usual since they have now blocked access to facebook.

Yes that's right, the only thing connecting me between these walls and the friends I have in the outside world for the 9 hours a day in which I stay here, has now been taken away. This has made my day seem much, much longer, at the expense of social networking. Sigh.

Feel free to share...

um... you're probably the only person in the world that doesn't use it jay...

i'm on it all the time...

i would die if they blocked the following sites: (in no particular order)

- gmail
- facebook
- tcc
- acurazine

... those 4 sites get me through my day, as well as others like youtube, etc... but vids are harder to watch cuz of ppl around and the noise they make, forums are where it's at...

lol ya noone says they have to be your best friends, but to just catch up see where they're workin/what they're doing... plus most ppl have changed numbers etc...


and honestly not everyone i've lost touch with was cuz it wasn't worth it, many times people move away different places and it's just not feasible...

facebook FTW
