Work Denial

I have never really seen this phrase in any dictionary or magazine. This seems to be something has been created where I work. It can be described as a mental state or even medical condition. Here is my own definition:

Work Denial (verb) The act of denying that there is work to do at any given time. Symptoms include surfing the Internet profusely, staring at the same document on the computer for long periods of time, playing online games or typing in your Blog. Few cures are know but may include stretching, taking a walk, giving yourself a time limit to veer off course or maybe just banging your head on the desk in front of.

I haven't done the last cure I listed but I am sure it won't be far behind. My work denial is at its peak on Mondays and Fridays. Well, let's face it. It isn't gone Tuesday to Thursday but may be minimized by the realization that I didn't get much work done on Monday.

The main problem is that I figured work denial was due to laziness or unwillingness to do work but it isn't. It is exactly what I have defined. I am in denial that there is work to be done. I am definitely being active and working on something. But maybe just not what needs to be done at this moment.I don't have an answer to my own work denial but I can safely stand up and admit to my addiction.
