There is no real "good reason" to look at Internet porn at work. But people do lots of things—at work and elsewhere—that there was no good reason to do. I call these "mistakes."<br /><br />I have found in my travels as the facts unravel that human beings are particularly prone to make these so-called mistakes in matters involving sexual urges. It is almost as though a person's sexual urges are not completely rational.<br /><br />I do not regularly look at Internet porn while at work. I do however make certain kinds of mistakes that I can publicly admit make me somewhat sympathetic to the workaday wankers of the world. Namely, I often black out and find myself standing in front of the pantry, with a bag of potato chips in my hand, a handful of potato chips in my other hand, two handfuls in my mouth, and twelve in my stomach. And I say to myself, "How did I get here?"<br /><br />I point this out as a kind of mindless, impulsive activity that I know is suboptimal but which I continue to do. I imagine that the activity you describe in your post is similar.Bart Torvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661031240106200076noreply@blogger.com
