Ironic Misunderstanding

This happened half a year ago, at my old cubicle space:
---------------------------------------------------------
A coworker today said "I sometimes wonder if you only do this job to support your writing."

At most, he has seen me do two things:
   - open my blog: Adventures of the Mundane;
   - read Weinberg on Reading;

I don't know if he meant it kindly despite the implication, but the implication hurt - that I don't do the work I'm hired to do. It hurt even more, likely, because I don't actually take my urge to write seriously.
