because we are both losers... i don't see my job going to India... I'm sure they already have their own Railroad Engineers there. My job will be taken by a computer... hence why i am trying to get the computers to like me. |

yahoo answers provide a good place to go to relieve boredom and a good way to waste your time away.

I am here cause sometimes i really just don't have nothing to do at work. Also sometimes i am here to take a break from work cause my job can be mind numbing so answer questions keeps my moral up. |

I spent a lot of time online in my last office job because I hated my work. Now I am a student, and I can get away with it between classes. |

I don't know..I just look at this as a fun way to interact with people. Plus its entertaining--read some of the stupid questions here lately? I have laughed so hard sometimes I cry :) |

You should talk. Maybe were just so incredibly bored that we have to make sure that we are not the only ones. Or maybe we think we know it all and have to let everyone else know to. Or maybe we are waiting for someone to inspire us With that one question. Maybe were tired of watching the clock. Maybe......... |

Because its fun to learn / help people. Also, companies make it too easy to access non-work-related sites, most don't do anything to stop it. |

well I know what you mean, I am addicted to yahoo answers, I just keep answering as many questions as I can up to my daily limit, I hate when I get to my daily limits then it's not as much fun, I have to wait till the next day so I can do the same thing. |

A subliminal signal is being sent along with the answers, it stimulates the pleasure centers of the brain, thus causing the addiction. Don't worry, I'm working on a patch, if only I could stop answering, it would be done! |

When you're retired or as i like to say "retreaded'. yes some of us spend too much time on the answers sites, but its fun and informative, and sometimes very helpful.......i personally like the pet area esp, the dogs, as we have an adorable minidoxie named HONEYBUN, her favorite thing is smoozing, which is smooching us and snoozing, so we call it smoozing. lol.......got to love the dachshunds!!!!

That's a total lie and a gross generalization. I'm on here solely because I don't have enough work to do. If I didn't have this then I would have to quit this job or go back to a crazy long commute because at the crazy long commute, there was so much work to do. Before this, I absolutely hated my job and coming to work because I was so bored. My boss is never here (almost never) and doesn't give me back work that I could be doing. He doesn't care. He's been promoted. He's not a bad guy but he just doesn't care. We are having a great year in terms of sales.
You should hold back before you start blabbing stuff that you know nothing about. The people that have work to do are working. My husband is one of them. My father is another. They are 2 of the most productive people I know. I could be very productive but taking the initiative is not an option here. I've tried it often enough, especially in the beginning. My coworkers agree and they have been here for years. An end is kind of in sight because I'm almost done with my MBA and I can move on. TG!!!! I hate this job and what America has become. They promote the stupidest people. They reward them handsomely. It seems very counter to America's values.
Why I am now a democrat. We have a slacker King for a President besides. He's incompetent and takes too many vacations.
When I do have work, I am all about it. |
