I'm the victim of a cunning ploy by my Cherished Institution, namely to slow down internet traffic to the point where my usual web browsing is nigh impossible, and I actually have to - gasp! - do some work instead.

Hmm... such plots, I fear, abound. The exec in charge of my client co. has half-jokingly announced that the shortage of desk space (ah, the hotdesking culture) isn't actually a scheme to get people to arrive at work earlier.
