Work blogging

I decided to go ahead and write a short post during my lunch break at work. I am not well versed in the standards of internet use at work since this is for all practical purposes my first office job. I think blogging is alright. The other worker monkeys check their e-mail and such and a student I know who works at the State Supreme Court tells me she still floats around myspace while at work.

As I work on these insurance settlement demands, I can't help but wonder how all of these people thought to get a lawyer. If you are hit by an uninsured motorist and you are covered by your own insurance, I would never think to go out and find myself a lawyer. I guess before I came to lawschool I had a pretty negative connotation about suing, such that I never thought I would be in the position to sue someone else. Granted, most of these cases are settled, but there are still lawyers involved. Another reason for my bewilderment at the vast numbers of suits, or potential suits is that I have always had the most minimal of insurance coverage. Maybe when you have very comprehensive insurance, you have a tendency to want to get the most out of it. You are paying higher premiums for something, namely the right to recover "pain and suffering" in the event that you actually file a claim.

Being able to blog at work seems to provide a documentation of the random thoughts I have while reading the files I read. Normally these thoughts would pass throughout the day without ever making their way outside of my mind, but armed with ready internet access and limited in where I can get to during the break, I guess there is not reason not to give them a route out.
