This is just Counter Productive

I am blogging yes..

But from one of my laptops which I brought to the office.

Why you ask?

Because my office has decided to block Youtube, Facebook, blogs and any social networking site out there.
And even worse, I cannot access any online banking sites, CIMB, Maybank, RHB.

While the management may think that this is for the productivity of the firm, I must..with all the professionalism I can muster..shall respectfully disagree..and I do so for the following reasons:-

(a)  You cannot expect me to work for 12 hours a day (and yes...we lawyers do spend up to 12 hours here, forsaking time with partners, children, parents, pets e.t.c) and not go into facebook at least for 10 minutes every 3 or 4 hours?

(b)  We are always told to be more sociable, I am a social handicap after all. And Facebook tu kan 'Social Networking' punya site. Hello? This is my only lifeline to have a semblance of a semi-normal life;

(c) I have always listened to music while I work. This practice has started since uni days. Remember the tudung girl who always carries a green folder full of cassettes in the UITM Law Faculty? Yes, that would be me. Did my results ever go down the drain because of my music listening habits? NO, I was one of the top-scorers there.This means only one thing - MUSIC is absolutely necessary for my productivity. You blocked Youtube, my only source of music in this office.  I shall automatically therefore be less productive. Thank you.

(d) Since I spend so much time in this workplace, sitting in front of this pc. I would not have time to go to the Bank would I? Therefore online banking transactions are a must for me. Why was it blocked for the love of God?

I do not understand this act of cruelty. Someone please explain this to me?

So terpaksalah bawak laptop ke ofis setiap hari...

Sob..sob
