Does any one on yahoo answers even work?

Question

I work, I'm only home b/c I'm w/sick child, its very interesting to see how many people are on the computer this time of day instead of out working, or maybe this is work to some of you. Tell me how you do it.(not try to offend any one)

Answer 1

I am at work right now! My job is not very busy. See, my job is dependent upon the other people above me. When they have a task for me to do, I do it, but until they give me one my day is pretty much free. I must remain here of course, because when they do have a task for me, they need it finished right away and I am the only one who can do it (It is good to be needed). Sometimes I am extremely busy while other times I have absolutely nothing to do except this. It makes my day go by faster.

I have often wondered this same thing. I have decided that most people are either like, me, retired, unemployed or otherwise overseas or in a time zone that allows them to be on at times where it seems they shouldn't. With six billion people on this planet the odds are good that at least a large number of people are on-line at any given moment.

Answer 2

Hey there, I am home right now, "looking for work", because my last contract finished a few weeks ago. I'm wondering if Yahoo! Answers can in any way be considered as a resources, related to job search, or if it's just some strange type of forum.

Looking for a job can at times be really dificult, and even tough I am not working, I find I work pretty hard! Of course, I don't have time to read every answer and answer many questions. In the end, I find this service is pretty much like entertainment, and don't think I'll use it much more for my job search. Have a good day still! :)

Answer 3

I work from home and I don't always have a lot to do. My boss is OK with it though because I am actually on a 24/7 oncall and if they didn't let us slack off a lot during the normal business day, no one would want this job. It's actually a very good job, I am well paid, but when my customers call, I gotta jump. So I can kinda do whatever I want when my customers are being quiet.

I watch a lot of Maury, too.

Answer 4

Something to consider, this is the "world" we are talking to. One day is anothers night. Personally, I am taking a much needed vacation at home! When I was working, I would get on this and type away after I fed my family and had time to chill. Some days I would stay away from it, but its too much fun, so I pretty much check it out daily now.

Answer 5

Yes, I work. I work 3 twelve hour shifts a week. I am ususally on during the day. If there is some down time at work, I log on. I dont neglect my job or anything else for this. It is just sometimes I have some free time on my hands.

Answer 6

I work on tax returns from 6 am to 12 pm. This is my break time when I answer tax related questions and try to make other's lives a little easier.

Answer 7

People can make a living off this site? And here I've been doing this for free. I'm not at work right now because I'm at school. Therefore, right now I'm not making any money. :-( Oh well, I don't like my job anyway, hence the reason of going to school.

Answer 8

It's only 730 am....I have about 30 min to get ready....or so...My job lets me pretty much do what I want as long as my productivity falls within the guidelines....and no I don't work at home.....my job starts when I step out the front door.

Answer 9

My husband is a sweetie, he's supporting me while I attend college part-time. That's not an offencive question...you're just curious...& it's highly likely that there are folks on here that are at work. In my old job it would have been an easy thing to do to kill time on breaks.

Answer 10

I work 45 hour week. I get on the computer only on breaks and at lunch. I never on it at home or weekends.
