At my last job I could access ANYTHING so it's been a huge adjustment for me to not be able to even check my email during the day. We had to fight to get access to Wikipedia!
Hee! It sounds so funny when you say basically, "Well, it is a nuclear power station. I guess we should be careful." But yeah, I just think that so many people are afraid of the internet that they have this knee-jerk reaction and completely restrict access when I believe that minimal surfing makes me more productive. It gives me a little mental break and lets me keep up with my family and friends while I'm at work. Is that so wrong? I work to live, not the other way around.
