I keep them sated by doing the difficult leg work of finding decent pornography to download.

I am posting from work but then I am the boss (and the IT manager and the financial controller and.....) and I don't feel like sacking myself this week.

techs are the worst - one contractor was sacked at my office for downloading kiddy porn - the matter went to court.

Our policy is that you shouldn't look at anything which would cause offence if seen by someone else.
I suppose i could look at porn after everyone else had gone home

I used to post here from work (until today - im at home on my lunchbreak now). As of today the company access controll has resticted Apolyton.net as its now classified as a game site.
Seems theyve updated there tracker or something, I remember about a year ago they stopped letting me in through the .com extension but I found I could get in with .net, NOT ANY MORE............
I only used to post in quiet times, lunchbreaks etc (mainly in OT), its their loss that im no longer on the pulse with up to date news and worldwide opinion.

If it wasn't for people posting from work, the OT would be a shallow shell of what it currently is. (posted from work) Our company maintains a blocked site list. Fortunately as long as I'm on the management team, Apolyton will not appear on that list. RANK hath it's privleges.

Oh yes! No problem, though, as I'm "working" at a university! No boss, no musts, (almost) no schedules... Ah, the beauty of Academia!
Even more now than before, since I'm currently off-line at home...

They won't fire me. :sad: I wish they would. I hav'nt found a new position yet. This place is driving me nuts, It's nice to take a 5 minute poly break. If they don't like
