Guilt in the Office

As an average employee, would you agree that there are times when there’s no deadline to meet and you simply go sidetracked with these guilty-full “hobbies” in the office? I know you do.

Let me share these to you…

Facebook or any social networking site for that matter. In order to pass the day by without waiting for the time, one cannot simply ignore checking out that update a friend just posted or make a comment on that cutie’s status. In fact, one can never ignore those funny quizzes they continually flood around.

Instant Messaging (or emailing) that cutie-next-cubicle. What a great way to kill the time than spend it with someone who brightens the gloom of boredom! Catching the latest gossip from long distance friends? Well, it’s just a keyboard away!

Reading e-books, of course, not those boring work-related articles! Harry Potter, perhaps?! This would be almost perfect since it would allow you to “look busy” and yet it’s just one of those killing-time-scheme.

Guilty, your honor! But isn’t it so deliciously satisfying? Bet you’ve got a longer list than the one I shared. Would you mind sharing them to us?
