I am so peeved

I've noticed over the last couple of days at work that I've had trouble seeing photos on some blogs and all of Ravelry when surfing at lunchtime. It was a big mystery but one that I assumed would probably resolve itself with time. I finally figured it out the problem today - my work has blocked Flikr! ^$#^%*&^ !!!!  So now any site that sources it's photos from flikr I won't be able to see (the photos only not the site itself). This isn't that frustrating with the blogs since there are so many of them out there and only a fraction uses flikr only for it's photos but it completely takes Ravelry out of the picture for looking at patterns, etc. Of course I can do it from home but I eat lunch at my desk everyday and love that hour of surfing. I'm just ticked.

Aaah! That totally sucks! I remember at my old job when they blocked anything that had to do with any sort of web mail and there were several other sites that got blocked. Comments to blogs were blocked too and it made me so angry. I wonder if your workplace had problems with flickr or if they are just cracking down on sites employees can visit due to bandwidth issues.
