bandwidth, pumapayat ka a

I remember that day in my previous work when our president angrily reminded the big-bandwidth consumers to avoid downloading and accessing sites that require streaming (i.e. listening to FM radio via ym, watching youtube, etc) -and yes she knew who they were, the network admin had means. and to be called for that was quite embarassing. I was lucky coz my only addiction that time was livejournal.

Admittedly though, I've been addicted to facebook lately, specifically to Restaurant City, causing me to login several times a day even during office hours. till today, when I realized that these social networking sites have taken so much of our office's bandwith (scenario now seems familiar!) The connection's now sloooow and erratic! facebook even probably, sneakily deteriorates everyone's productivity. I can now understand the sentiments of my former big boss!

Not that I'm becoming a KJ. seriously, as a boss, I am output oriented, and I don't care how one uses his/her office hours. I am just so bothered that the usage of the company's internet connection, for self-online-gratification is becoming too much here. And so I'd like to make a resolution: I won't checkout Facebook except during lunch time and after work. and I'm hoping that my officemates would do the same too, for a start, to at least one of the other addictions which I luckily never touched from the start (twitter, plurk, etc) as I didn't want to maintain so many usernames and passwords. hehe

I speak up simply because I don't want our big boss to discipline us someday by blocking these sites. and of course, I want everyone to enjoy a faster connection in accessing more relevant/work-related information :)
