Use the internet more at work
Where I work we have open internet access which is great for me but usually this sort of stuff is really locked down and restrictive to what you can do. Found this service the other day which by the sounds of it is great to make sure you make the most out of that corporate connection. http://www.http-tunnel.com they offer a subs based service that lets you do practically what you want through a http (port 80) tunnel so as long as you can do web browsing at work you should be able to shove what you want through that channel.. games, msn, irc, remote desktop etc....
