Blocked website workarounds? Music site recs?

Arg, the new job is great, but the internet at said new job is not Sad

Luckily the bump seems to be working for now, but I can't get to any web-based email, and it seems like Pandora is also blocked. 

Any tips for workarounds?  If not, any alternative suggestions for music sites that might not be blocked??

TIA!

    Spotify.com is a really nice music site but it may also be blocked if Pandora is blocked.

    If you have a smartphone, you can get a Pandora App and play music through your phone or hook the phone to a small speaker/headphones.  Of course, you'll have to make sure you have a charger at work so you don't drain your phone's battery.

    You can also check the web based email through your phone but of course it's not as nice as having a full screen and keyboard. 

    Good Luck!

    Sites like FB and gmail have a secure site so just use https in the URL and it should let you in.

    My company has been *really* thorough about blocking all workarounds as soon as they get sort of well known.  I rely heavily on my smartphone for personal email, music, FB and anything else remotely interesting except thankfully the Nest/Bump.

    Pandora is blocked at my work, too. I have to listen on my phone.

    Pandora is blocked at mine but youtube is not so I just find a playlist I like and keep it hidden behind other tabs so I'm not distracted by the visuals.
