Do you goof off at work?

Question

I'm doing it right now. What does that say about me? You? Anyone who does it? I have an important job and I'm in a high profile position. I sit behind a closed door in an office with nobody to watch over my shoulder. I still get my work done (and done well), but why am I doing this? Why are you doing this? Are certain people predispositioned for this behavior? Who and why?

By the way, I haven't done anything today. Maybe for about an hour, then I was like, "fnck it!". My boss came in a couple of times and scared the crapped out of me. Alt-Tab is my best friend!!

That was beautiful, man. I'm curious, what was Paul's struggle. I'll tell you what I've read about it on another question.

Answer 1

There are a lot of days I don't goof off at work, but there are just some days when I just don't feel like doing what I should be doing. I think it's human nature. My work gets done of course, but I know I have days when I just need some time off. I think that's why I do it.

Hello Princessfreestar

Great question, yes we all have done it even if it was just for a second and we have been found guilty and we know it is not right. Predisposition an predestination are misnomers. If we were predispositioned to do something wrong than we would not have any power to change it and we would soon be caught goofing off and lose our jobs. Predestination to some means that we were destined to have these types of jobs so that life will be easy for us. These are both wrong ways to view what is happining in these situations. Apostle Paul had a similar struggle as we all do with sin in the flesh

Romans 7:15-20 (Living)
I don't understand myself at all, for I really want to do what is right, but I can't. I do what I don't want to--what I hate. [16] I know perfectly well that what I am doing is wrong, and my bad conscience proves that I agree with these laws I am breaking. [17] But I can't help myself because I'm no longer doing it. It is sin inside me that is stronger than I am that makes me do these evil things.
[18] I know I am rotten through and through so far as my old sinful nature is concerned. No matter which way I turn I can't make myself do right. I want to but I can't. [19] When I want to do good, I don't; and when I try not to do wrong, I do it anyway. [20] Now if I am doing what I don't want to, it is plain where the trouble is: sin still has me in its evil grasp.


Give you life to Jesus if you have not already. If you confess your sins God is faithful to forgive you of your sins and to cleanse you from all unrighteous (IJohn1:9)

Calm yourself. It's Monday. You're thinking too much! LOL.
I'm goofing off at his moment as well. I too get my work done on time and it's practically flawless. I don't think people are predestined to get on Y!A during the work day. It's just something to do to pass the time.
