Today I received a new computer and monitor in my cube.  This monitor is huge, it's wide screen and like 23".  A bit overkill and I've been trying to combat dizziness since it was installed.

Anyway, the tech gave me the spiel about how we are not, absolutely not allowed to install any programs, toolbars, etc that are unauthorized.  That means, if the techs don't put it on it's illegal.  Then I was told they put in new software that will scan your system every time you log in to make sure there isn't any unauthorized software. 

So today I was surfing the net and it kept wanting me to install Adobe something or other.  You know what, I took a walk on the wild side and clicked install after I wasn't able to view a picture on a page.  So UGH to the tech department, yeah, come all the way over here, charge our department $45 to take off something that's needed to view a regular internet page.  We'll see.

Oh, and I was also told that they are really going to crack down on our department because their was a TON of unauthorized programs on a lot of our units (many of us received new systems today).  So Yippee, there goes just that much more of my privacy, but what privacy, right?  I work in a freaking cube, where you can watch me, throw popcorn at me, and poke me.  Dance monkey dance!
