That sucks. I've read a lot lately about people being let go for blogging about their jobs - even while not at work.
My company has something in our employee handbook that states they understand you need to use the phones/internet sometimes for personal use. We have all the usual firewalls etc so we can't get to or log into some sites but otherwise as long as it's not interfering with your job surf away. I'm sure somewhere in corporate there's a program keeping track of what everyone's doing but I've never heard of it being a problem for anyone.
We also all use IM to communicate with people in our other offices.
