The day is upon us...

The day is upon us that the internet was turned off.

So I came into work this morning and fired up my PC. I had an email from one of the executives. The email stated that the new "Web Security Software" would be fully enabled today. As far as I could tell everything was still working just fine. That was at about 7:45. At 8:25 the guy in the cube next to me said he could not get to google.com. Now the blocking has started. I tried going to Google and was presented with a page stating it is not in the "allow" list. However, after I restarted my browser I was able to get to it again. I have not tried any other sites. It gives me a generally unclean feeling when the "this site is blocked" page comes up.

Right now I have logged into my firewall machine back in my apartment through SSH and started up links (like lynx but with tables) and I am going to try to post this from there. I have tried this before and was unsuccessful, so we'll see how it goes.

In other news, yesterday was Mark Brickey's birthday. Beth gave me a text and told me they were going up to the Seneca casino in Niagara Falls for some dinner at the buffet and asked me to go. So naturally when there is food involved I went. Damn, that place has some food. There was an unreasonable amount of food there. It was unreasonably too much. I ate 2 full plates of dinner then some pie, ice cream, and bread pudding. The bread pudding was gross though. I am never gonna eat that crap again. Now my insides are all messed up. It was way too much meat. I don't eat much meat normally and that was pretty much all I ate there.

Anyways, I love hanging out with that crew. I need to hang with them more. I always say that and then I don't. I need to start calling them up.

Hope this post works...
