My new job in tech support has limited Internet access, and I got a look at the whitelist of allowed websites. Neither Buffistas nor LiveJournal are permitted, and I'm leery of submitting them for approval. Ah, well.
Lots of news outlets, though, so I can get my news fix, lots and lots of computer stuff naturally. Given the number of guys in the place, lots of sports and hunting, plus a surprising number of free speech type sites to balance out the Rush Limbaugh and George W sites (surprising for Utah County). Local newspapers, local organizations, credit card companies so I can pay my bills at work, yay. Genealogy places to suck the attention of the LDS and other family history fiends (Here!).
eBay. Right, that won't take people's attention.
andre_norton.org, plus several LotR and Harry Potter and Star Wars sites. I wonder who had the chutzpah to put those in?
Plus . . . fanfiction.net.
I am boggled. I may have reason to waste time at work after all.
I'm hungry. Where should I go eat?
I think I need to eat before I get there.
If you're in LA, have some Falafel King for me. Gawd, I miss that place.
What I'm really craving is Los Panchos taco shop in El Cajon, but that's a bit too much of a drive.
I hope they have a combo plate called "Trio Los Panchos".
yay Matt is at SFO!
he probbably won't make it home much before 9, so tonights dinner :
bread and Camenbert Chese from Rouge et Noir . carrots and apple on the side. Fresh slaw, if he feels like it. Red wine. Peach struedal from TJ's.

good place for a picnic as long as you aren't intimidated by birds
Help ticket from hell. This woman has at most, a five-minute problem, but she absolutely refuses to either give me a phone number or even call me when I give her mine.
My new job has me helping fast-food restaurant employees deal with touch screen windows-based point of sale systems.
One week in, I still didn't have a working network login, nor a phone system login.
Two weeks+ in, and I still don't have an email account on the exchange server.
The internet is blocked, except for a small handfull of highest-priority sites.
I feel your pain.
