I did turn one of my proxies back on for a few minutes to see what people
are using my proxy for, when surfing from work, and I did see
someone from Australia surfing various kinds of wedding-related
sites.

Any employer that would ban sites for planning a WEDDING is
NUTS. There is NOTHING unethical about using the company
networks to surf wedding-related sites for planning a wedding.
One's wedding day is a very SPECIAL day, and I feel that the
corporate network that was obviously banning wedding sites
needs to RETHINK their usage policies. There is NOTHING
wrong OR unethical about suring wedding-related sites from
work. I am glad to know that I was helping someone plan
their wedding day without the boss knowing what they were
doing. They will see a lot of connections to my proxy, but
that person's boss, in Australia, will NEVER KNOW that
employee was surfing wedding sites form work, and I feel
good knowing that I was helping someone be able to plan
their special day, from work, without the boss being able
to know what he/she was up to.

This is why you would be fired if you worked for someone.

A company network is for COMPANY BUSINESS, NOT PERSONAL BUSINESS.

A wedding is a verry SPECIAL occasion, and I see NOTHING
wrong with surfing wedding-related sites from work, as long
as you get your work done.

Using company resources for non company things is likely against company
policy. What part of that are you having trouble with? I'd love to see
you actually own a company and have your staff doing what you suggest
instead of what you are paying them for. How quickly would you change
your tune?

As long as they got their work done, I would not have a problem with
that, or listening to online radio. As long as you get your work done,
that is all that should matter.
