This post is directed to all budding entrepreneurs, current business owners and anyone else who as the technical knowledge and/or power to block websites at the workplace. I'll keep this short, because there are no accompanying pictures (all websites blocked).
Now, I'm not talking about blocking websites with questionable content -- I'm talking about Gmail, Hotmail, Evite and any other website that extends my social interaction with white (or similar) people beyond the familial glance on the escalator. The company I work for has some policy that prevents me from accessing practically any website worth going to (gmail, hotmail, evite, gawker, perezhilton). I'm so irritated. How am I suppose to feel connected to my former life?
I can't email people at work using my personal email, so if I want to email someone I have to either wait until get home from work (because after 9 hours of looking at a computer, I just can't wait for more) or I have to use my work email address. Why do they do this? It's so annoying. I actually think I work less because I can't access those sites. I spend more time trying to figure out ways to get around them than if I just could go to my email sites and write to people.
So a word to the bosses out there --- just let the internet be free.
Also, nothing really exciting is happening here in Hong Kong (or nothing that I can tell). I'm heading to LA on Saturday and John is going to Vietnam on Friday, so maybe there will be something to talk about after that, but for the time being we're pretty boring.

I know I said I wouldn't post pictures, but I couldn't resist --- this is how I feel

For everyone's info. That is a lady who was angry at me taking her picture the other weekend in Macau so she came after me with her meat. BTW, that place has the best beef jerky in the world. No joke.
