Now I have to find a new job for pete's sake!!!!

I'm thinking of putting in a complaint but that might be another CLM (Career Limiting Move).

My apartment complex has a "business center" with 2 semi-working computers. At the moment only 1 is actively working!!

Well... there are ways to browse 'anonymously', but do you really want to chance it? why did they block it in the first place? companies can track and store the history of *everything* on their comps, networks, and servers including sites visited and use keystroke loggers. Big Brother is alive and well and making mucho dineros :D

If they blocked it at their firewall/gateway there isn't much of a way to get past it. You could try a proxy service but the free ones suck and if you could afford to pay for the pay ones you could afford your own PC/internet.

In recent days, couple of times instead of forum, I got a blank site??? If I try to visit forum on some other way, which I did for couple of times; all I've got is blank again...Why?
P.S. My computer works fine, thanks for asking!

This is probably going to cause most of you to hate me (if you don't already)but I think that you should use the internet at work to do work-related tasks. One of my coworkers was bidding on e-bay today (for a dog stroller).

I could let it slide if she actually came to work when everyone else is there (at the normal starting time but she is consistently late and her work leaves something to be desired --- I should complain about this but I fear that she may have somethting on the boss, which is why I am posting this in the first place)

Anyway, I visit the forum on my lunch break and I certainly don't sign in and I never post. Then again, I am a grunt employee only. I am not an engineer and I don't offer a real service to the company so they could get rid of me whenever they want to.
