Big Brother

So my office is monitoring internet use now. Being friends with the IT person is handy. I got a better description of what 'monitoring' meant. They aren't tracking individuals, or websites. Yet. They're just catching people doing massive downloads, streaming, etc.

Still, this stirs up my inherent paranoia. I can become very paranoid. Completely convinced I am about to be fired, even if unfounded.

'Yes but,' you say, 'if you weren't doing bad things, you wouldn't have anything to be paranoid about.'

'Eh, fuck off!' I say, 'Self control has never been my strong suit.'
