Unfortunately I can not come to myLot from my desktop at work anymore.
Last week, the IT guy said to me that the company internet is only for work problems. It isn't supposed to be used for personal issues.
So now I am even more reduced on the time I have to spend on this website.
Do you also have restrictions on the internet use at work?

When I worked, I only use the work computer for my personal stuff on my breaks or lunch.

Well, I can not eat in my desk so I don't have time for it at breaks. And at lunch I like to be away from my workplace.

@fufurinha Proxies, VPNs... You have hundred of free internet proxies available, and a few free VPNs. Proxies do not need to install any software, and a web proxy can be used by a complete dummy (I give you a link to a list). If one of them is blocked by an IT, you have just to switch to another one

The best list of working and continuously checked free proxy servers - page 1 of 5.

It's a sensible policy for an employer to have, aggravating as it may be.
I've occasionally posted on myLot from work. Usually I do it while I'm on a break, although there was one morning when our scanners weren't working that I was pretty active on here while on the clock. 
I've never logged into my account using company equipment. Occasionally I use the company's open network to connect to the site. It's a public connection that's available for customer use, though.

I used to do surveys in down time at my old spare-time job. It boosted my hourly rate by a very tiny percentage. I wish I had been myLotting back then!
