Banned at work

I tried to log into my website this week from a nursing floor only to discover that my hospital has blocked access to halfmd.com, saying that it is “inappropriate for the workplace.” I wonder how they came to that conclusion.

    half.com MD is NSFW (not suitable for work), a label normally reserved for sites with nudity &/or profanity).

    Your site, in contrast, is NSFW b/c it’s more engaging than many people’s jobs.

    Do other wordpress blogs work? I have a feeling they may have just blocked blogs in general.

    I checked and found that other blogs are blocked as well. The ban seems to be universal.

    You need to get a smart phone and log in over a highspeed phone network.

    Problem solved
