I work for a certain company that makes almost everything you could dream of, on top of that I love my job and I'm good at it (in my mind anyways). I work in finance which means I spend most of my days with my nose buried in a computer screen and ocassionally during the day I switch over to channel 4 and bbc world news websites to read about the days events. I'm now swift to point out that there is nothing else I should be doing in these times and I actively seek out more work to do, but more work doesn't always exist. Now that thats out of the way I can get to my stories.
The crux of the matter is that whilst I have been working here I have on two ocassions clicked onto things I shouldn't have according to the system. The first time I was was reading the fact check blog on channel 4, to be exact the article on the BNP and Nick Griffins appearance on question time and they have links in evidence of the facts that they are checking. Anyways my curiosity was peaked by one of the points made about the parties imigration policy. So I clicked on the embedded link not knowing where it would take me. Instantly I was blocked by the system from looking any further as it was taking me to the BNP website and it was blocked due to discrimination (I'll talk about this later).
The second incident occured when Krishnan Guru-Murphy's blog on C4 directed me to a woman on blog spot writing about torture and the threat of terrorism, now I'm almost ashamed to admit that I had never really taken much interest in blog spot before but having been directed to it and forever waiting for engineers to send me project reports so I can file them away into neat little spread sheets I found myself overwhelmed by the names of all the bloggers next to the blog I had just read. eargerly I began clicking on them, the magistrates blog, confessions of a psychtherapist, resses monkey and assimilating everything they were saying. Then I saw a blogger with the name Girl with a one track mind, naively believing that the on track would be sociology, politics or economics (now I'm not an idiot, I know what it means when you say that someone has a one track mind; it generally means that they are obsessed with sex. But I was under the assumption that it was meant to be ironic) so I clicked on it and the system imediately blocked me because the site according to it had pornography on it (I'll talk about this soon).
Now to previous points, should be the BNP website be banned; I mean the conservative website was perfectly fine to go on. Now I don't like the BNP, seeing as how I've immigrated here to steal everyones jobs but I don't understand why one would be banned while the other one is fine. Secondly once I got home I went on this One tracked mind's blog (I had to, you know you would have as well) and apart from talking about sex in a general way it had nothing pornographic on it.
Anyways I'm now swearing at myself, I hope this doesn't get flagged up somewhere and it comes back to bite me in the ass. Has anyone else been the relatively innocent victim of their own curiosity/stupidity? How did it work out for you?
