Reading Livejournal from Work

So I recently discovered that my company reserves the right to monitor electronic communications (because they blocked some sites that were both against the company code of conduct and were being accessed). This puts me in a dilemma. I don't particularly care for my own sake if they know what I read from work--I'm happy to take whatever negative consequences come from that. But sometimes I read things that are private to other people, and I don't know what level of care to take there. My email I access through https from a computer I own and control, so I think that's basically safe. But my friends list is viewed over an open HTTP connection.

I'll note that my best guess is that this isn't a problem. I can't imagine my company using any information personal to me or my friends; I both think basically well of them (for a large company) and I don't see the motivation. Why should they go to the trouble of making trouble for someone they don't know when it won't gain them anything? But I'm not sure I should be making that decision for other people.

So I turn to my friends list. How do you deal with the issue of your employer monitoring web accesses? Do you avoid reading your friends list from work? Do you do some funky nerd thing to keep them from being able to see it? Or do you do something else? This inquiring mind wants to know :-}.

(Obviously, if this bothers you on a personal level, let me know, and I'll stop reading your journal from work. Note that this'll mean I'm more likely to miss stuff in your journal, and certainly won't respond as quickly to it).
