    Time to fess up!  Do you read blogs (weddingbee or anything else that's not work related) while at work?  

    I've got to say that I do and while I feel guilty about it and am worried I'll get busted I just can't stop!  My job can be a little boring...

    I do from my phone-I'm afraid if I do it on the work computer there will be some sort of alarm that gives me away one of these days :) LOL

    That is a yes from me Do you read blogs at work? :  wedding blogs work Icon Wink. I am truly addicted to reading blogs now. Ever since my engagement I have been on the net constantly for ideas.

    Some companies actually can trace what sites you have visited, this is rare but it can happen. Luckily I am on the IT staff so I would know if policies like this existed for my company.

    It's so bad, right?


    I know that my company COULD track what we see on the internet, but I don't think that they do.  I'd like to think that b/c I'm buddies with the IT guys that they'd give me a heads up before I got in trouble, but who knows!  
     
    I'm like a friggin adict.  Blogs are just so much more interesting than my work some days.

    I definitely read blogs while working. But I'm self-employed, so no one is checking up on me. This is both a good thing and a very bad thing. I'm so easily distracted!

    Yeah, I do read blogs when work is slow. But I definitely don't read them when I have tons of work to do!

    Yes, I read my favorite blogs every day and try to catch up on my google reader once a week. Although that hasn't been as often lately as I need to clear a lot of the wedding blogs out, I'm not really interested in wedding inspiration anymore since I'm less than three months out.

    Oh goodness yes!!!  I love to read blogs in general, but ever since the ring landed on my finger I've added all the wedding madness (including WB being open all day long) to the mix. My job can be boring and other times I'm busy. I just know that if I have stuff to do I have to do it first and then I can play :)

    my google reader is open all day every day.  i hit refresh a lot once i've made it through everything.  it's awful.  i'm hoping that when work is less stressful, i'll procrastinate less.  (funny how that works, isn't it?)

    Yes!  I've been reading blogs - those related to my field / professional development and everything else - ever since I've had this job (three years).  I've convinced myself that it's something I deserve to do every day! 

    I try not to visit the actual Weddingbee site at work (and also to avoid facebook) and get everything in Google Reader...but it's a challenge on the really slow days or those times when I just can't stop thinking about wedding planning!
