So this week the question is, “I love my wife, but due to the nature of my job, I’m on my computer. I’m bored at my job so I find myself ending up on sites and looking at things I shouldn’t. What should I do?”
Well, I don’t have to say, “It’s bad.” You know, you get it. You know it’s bad but you’re bored. It’s like, “I’m hungry. I know McDonald’s isn’t good for me, but it’s on every corner.”
I guess I’ll start with, well why not look for another job? If you know that job isn’t good for you―for your health, for your marriage, for your family, for your lifestyle―then it’s time for you to find a different job.
Second thing is if you’re looking at porn on a work computer, you’re probably not gonna have that job very long. So if you love the job, you’re putting your job in jeopardy.
If you love the job, then kick ass at it. If you’re looking at porn because you’re bored, then take on a few more things so you’re not bored because your current job is not inspiring you and it’s not pushing you.
And thirdly, you could easily put something on your computer to prevent you from doing that. Get someone at your work to be your accountability partner. Be vocal with somebody who goes, “Hey, I’m going to check on you.”
You’re too lax. You’re thinking, “Oh, well, it doesn’t really matter.” Make it matter.
There’s a lot you can do. It’s just what are you willing to do? It’s up to you.
