Do you do most of your non work related blog reading from work? A simple if not uncomfortable question. Needs to be asked. Hence this simple little polling widget thing. Excuses can be left in the comment box. Go on don’t be shy. Its just a humble anonymous mouse/trackpad button click.
Yes, I mean no; no I mean yes – its complicated. Where is the option for someone who works from home?

There are two kinds of bloggers as far as I know. One that admin they blog in work, and the others who lie. Apparently according to your pool, liars are the majority. As same as in our democracy.
Just count how many new posts in Kottu every weekend and how many new comments added in weekends – there are very little in the weekend. Well, you may say, so then at least there are some people out there blog in weekend. Yes. They do. Because they work in weekends too.

I voted yes , although I only do it on some days only and even most of that is during lunch time or after work.

Some people get so addicted to blogging (and I am one of them) that if they’d start blogging at work, they wouldn’t get any work done. So it is not much of an option but to blog afterhours and on weekends.

Very candidly I can say that I blog from work…after all isn’t that the reason they provided us with internet facilities? 😉
ps: Tomorrow is my last day here 🙂

Sigma Delta: I’d say yes – if you are working and then you do non work related blogging, I’d say you are blog reading from work 🙂
sam: so I’m and the voices in my head are not alone in our suspicions 😉 But I’m using a broader definition – just people who read non work related blogs from work. From your theory which I think is reasonably accurate, I think there’s an even bigger number.
Kulendra: 😮 ??? explain
ying_yang: that’s the best justification I’ve heard! and it actually makes sense (within reason of course)
Nishadha: Sounds very responsible – doubt many have that level of discipline and self control 🙂
Bimal: Interesting theory – blog addiction is actually making people take control of their habits just to avoid the negative effects and still maintain their addiction. I think that might be possible with blogging since its not exactly a chemical dependency in the likes of tobacco drugs or booze.
Arkitektonic: I hope you last day at work wasn’t brought about by your blogging from work 🙂 All the best with wherever you go on to next.

It’s a difficult one to answer for those of us who work from home. But I answered yes anyway.

Thank you for the vote – if your blog reading wasn’t work related it counts as a “yes” 😀
