silly bugger!

Try combine a computer whiz with brainless supervisor.
Pretty screwed up outcome.

Some of the decisions may be valid as to stop people from wasting time browsing the internet, or chatting with their cousins across the ocean, or emailing people for prospective cyber-love.

Step one was to block ALL access to non-related websites, including websites as harmless as yahoo mail and other email server, blocking all chatting program but skype. It's pretty annoying. Tho I don't have much regular personal email but I prefer to do it web-based and not using office email.

Step two was moving ALL email program to HK server. Now this is totally disaster. Big time. Just too many glitches than positive side. The purpose was to be safe and sophisticated, but as usual, only users know what the need and I definitely need not all these sophisticated arrangements. I'm a simple office worker who's happy enuff working on Outlook.

In fact, I want my Outlook back!!!!

ps. Any of you know who's savvy enough to know how to run down this silly blockage, please talk!!
