  • No Internets at Work... (Sadface)

    Ugh, today sucked and tomorrow's gonna suck harder.

    The Client's low-side network-- on which users can access the Internet-- was recently compromised by a rather pervasive malware issue. They shut down data transfers completely, and apparently on Friday (my off day) they disabled access to the network, full-stop. Only critical users can keep their access on.

    This meant my shift was rather boring. I did happen to have a couple of books on hand-- I finished Stephen King's Full Dark, No Stars and made a lot more headway on House of Leaves, which I'd put off for a while.

    Fortuitously, most of the users in on Sundays were in over the course of the weekend, and thus were aware of the issue, so we didn't have any calls about it.

    Tomorrow, however... oy.

    Day 4 of my work week and still no Internets.

    Only pluses--

    No calls from users complaining about it.

    I've been making a bit of a dent in my backlog of books to read.

    Nonetheless, I'm BORED at work.

      I was going to say something about the irony of having no internet but posting about it on the internet but meh, I am to bored to.

          There are limitations-- obviously, I can't use what the Internet is for (pr0n), and a few other things, and some sites or services are blocked. (YouTube and DailyMotion and Hulu work fine... but Netflix is blocked, which SUCKS on my quiet Sunday shifts).

          It fills time between calls, having Internets.

            Well, I don't do porn, so I would be fine.

              OH FRABJOUS DAY! THE INTERNETS AT WORK HAVE RETURNED!

              ...in a limited fashion.

              THE BOREDOM IS CEASED!
