If you're a Linux geek, you can set up a transparent proxy by using iptables to forward all outgoing port 80 traffic on your gateway to a squid instance running on another port and set squid to block whatever sites you want.

SSH tunnel, VPN connection to home or proxy running on a different port on a remote machine are ways you can get around this. Doesn't necessarily mean your company's sysadmins aren't aware of what you're doing though. They might not be able to see what you're seeing, but they might be able to tell that you're going through a remote proxy, for example. Couldn't easily prove if you were looking at pr0n, however.
