blogging at work

So right now as you read this I am committing what I think could be come a huge sin of the 20st century- I'm blogging at work. That's right there are other things that I should be doing right now but for some reason I can't name, although there is a strong possibility that it could be my ADHD, I am choosing to blog instead of complete my work. Now I am sure that this sin occurs many millions of times a day and the those who commit this sin very rarely feel guilty about what they are doing...so my question is this: should we feel guilty for blogging at work?

I am really if you think about it we are wasting someone else's time and possibly their money, unless of course you are like me and have two jobs that are unpaid. I can't help but feel like if my boss new that I was sitting here writing this instead of doing what was asked of me they would not just be dissappointed in me, but they would actually be hurt. They would be hurt because by blowing off what they asked me to do in order to blog I am essentially disrespecting them via the internet. Right now I am being incrediably disrespectful and yet there will most likely be no punishment for it because besides the people who read this- no one is going to know that I did anything wrong.

I guess that all speaks to the kind of person that I am. I guess by saying that I am comfortable with myself sitting here and blogging that I am the kind of person that doesn't respect authority. Or it says that even know I am spending this whole blog acknowlegding that I know what I'm doing is wrong I am continuing to do it. That I am not self-movitated enough to make myself stop blogging and start working. If that is true I find that depressing and sadening. I don't want to be that person that isn't proud enough to stop doing something disrespectful not because they are going to get caught but just off of prinicpal. I thought I had better morals and stronger convictions then that.

Suddenly I am thinking that the whole subject of this blog is rather contradictory- I mean if I am sitting here writing that I wish i had more conviction that would not allow me to just sit here and blog rather then doing work then why don't I just stop doing it. I mean hello I am openly having this conversation- one that more likely then not would have occured in my head if I didn't put it here- I should just do what I'm saying I should do. I should stop blogging right now...
