Definately… My work is forever shutting off my Yahoo IM. But I told them I had a legitimate work reason for it and I get it back… but they usually take it again… back and forth… back and forth. Depending on what you do there you could say you need to contact customers or something. ---

We just implemented Lotus Notes as our mail service and now noone is aloowed to use AIM, Yahoo, MSN. Everyones pissed off because Lotus has an IM called Sametime that the whole company has to be on, and we can only chat with associates. ---
