in an attempt to better understand the people on the board and to be generally bored and nosey while at work.

Ket, LSD, booze and cigarettes.

My largest vice is attempting to understsnd people while generally being bored.

I suppose that depends on perspective.

Hedonism requires viewing nothing as a vice, for the guilt-free enjoyment.

I would argue that hedonism is a vice in itself.

Mostly because I don't feel like retracting my statement.

The hedonist indulges precisely to test the barriers of societal norms, particularly those of vice; s/he does it ever cogniscent of the notion of vice, indulgence and guilt. The biggest hedonists I know come from Catholic school backgrounds. What separarates hedonists from murderers is the concise circumvention of societal barriers, specifically vices - the murderer is not testing the boundaries, s/he is blissfully unaware of their solipsistic nature. There are exceptions, but these are the general rules, no?

I would agree, which is why I would assert that hedonism falls into the category of vice. Vice by definition exists within a moral context; hedonism is a conscious negligence of moral and social mores, which (albeit subjectively) make it amoral and, therefore, a vice.
