Heh...at least this place allows internet access. The last place I worked for didn't. No instant messenger type things allowed, and very limited access to the world in general.
Less mindless surfing would be good for me, I suppose. But taking it away altogether...I'm not sure I woulda liked that much.
Yeah - you don't want to waste time if the tasks they're paying you to do still need done, but working for a place that strictly monitors internet or email, or phone calls for that matter, is really oppressive.
