Well it was bound to happen... No more HBT.com at work... well.. no message boards of anytype actually.. which really kinda sucks cause I have so much down time at work where browsing the net is acceptable now I can't view any of the boards I like..
It is due to the computer policy... that states "Instant messangers, such as AOL, Yahoo and others are prohibited..."ect ect
The chief told me that this also includes message boards.. I was informed of this as I was receiving my letter saying I get a day off for breaking the computer policy.. Apparently the computer guy says that "Anytime you can send a message and it can be read instantly and responded to instantly it is an instant messenger" I politely (yeah right) told them that their computer guy was wrong (i have been in computers almost twice as long as he has) and their policy sucked and wasn't specific enough.. .and that if the comptuer guy was correct that I would no longer be checking my email because if the other person was logged on then they could respond "instantly"...
The good news is (thank god for silver linings) this reminded me how much I don't like my job and how it isn't what I really want to do anyway... so I have applied to a bunch of jobs that are more what I want to be doing!! hopefully I will be at a new place soon..
If you have made it this far in my post.. I appoligize for the long rant... but it feels good to get it all out...
