Wow Sarah, you work for Food Network? That's awesome! I watch that channel all the time. I would love to work for someplace cool like that. (I work for a boring old healthcare publication
)
One good thing about my job is that (as far as I know) our internet time isn't monitored, which is how I found GC a couple of weeks ago. It would be nice to have IM's, but that's pretty much the only thing that's blocked. When I'm bored, I write and check my email all the time and I look at random websites that I stumble across and that my friends tell me about. A couple of fun ones are:
www.menwholooklikekennyrogers.com (self-explanatory!)
www.threebrain.com (funny music videos)
www.snopes.com (urban legends)
www.thespark.com (I've taken almost every quiz on there!)
