I can relate
I was flipping through last Sunday's Washington Post magazine, which I usually only do to get my Dilbert fix, when I stumbled across a story by Joel Achenback called The Tail That Wags the Blog. It's a good read; my favorite part is where he describes the kind of people who blog:
I couldn't agree more - I've met some of the most interesting people over the last few months since I started my on-line venting. But I'm curious, how many of you fit the description above and do most of your blogging at work on the company's dime? I know I sure do, and if I go a week without posting (like this week) then it's only because I'm actually working hard for a change. So let me know if you're an on-the-clock blogger. And don't worry - your secret will be safe with me!
"America, it turns out, is full of smart, clever, creative people who happen to have no interest in working and whose employers have unwisely given them Internet access."

Oh...
That's the only time I blog...Hate to admit it...
Don't tell though!
I am usually working at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I'd be more productive without it.
My bosses told me when I was hired to find a hobby. They suggested knitting or reading. Then I found the world of blogs! I mostly do it at work all day. When you don't hear from me I'm working but for the most part I just sit here and stare at the walls. If I didn't have blogging then I'd be sleeping. I do check it once or twice at night, but not to much.
You mean there are people who don't blog on company time? What the hell do they do all day?!
Yup...guilty as charged officer...
Better put those handcuffs on me now! ;) At least it would stop by from blogging...
Thank you all for letting me know I'm not alone. Now if only we could all use our powers for good instead of evil...
I blog at work...but then, I own the company. Does that count?
