Post #136,128 by Nightowl 1/16/04 12:52:23 PM Reply	I have an idea how you feel Not the same technology, for sure, but same concept. At the job I had all the problems at, boss ordered me to type a number of things and then ordered me not to use the typewriter, OR leave the office to find another one. Hours later, I hadn't typed them, because she watched me every time I was near the typewriter, and I'd asked her repeatedly when I could use it, and the answer was always not now. I got yelled at for failing to type the papers, but I loved my job so much I put up with it all. At least you didn't get yelled at because you couldn't access the sites, right? Anyway, I know how it feels to be unable to use something you desperately need to get your job done. Nightowl >8# "It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace.

I just loved the job itself so much... Regardless, it is just the tip of the iceberg of the stupid things they tried to do to get me to quit.
