Subverting company policies, or playing cat-and-mouse with your company's security team is a quick way to ensure you won't have to worry about choosing that employer for long.

I had to be the bad guy at work and block all the fun stuff.

Our ISP gives us 200GB a month in bandwidth, and when you have a staff of 80, it doesn't take too long to blow through that. We're getting dinged $5/GB over our allowance, so I've blocked the "potentially bandwidth consuming" and "potentially time consuming" categories. Not to be a jerk, but to keep as close to my 200GB a month.
