No, I'm a flight attendant so my phone is off most of the day. Even if I turn it on I can't get a signal at 40,000 feet anyway.

When I'm at home I have kids and they take up most of my free time. I usually get on Ask in between wrestling with them, feeding them, taking them to the park, wrestling with them, watching the news and explaining current events to them, reading to them, wrestling with them, teaching them self-defense ... oh and did I mention wrestling with them? Haha :-)

Social media makes sence. The rest of us have no excuse. I think most people get paid for an hours work a day. Not complaining, just pointing it out.
Report as
LOL I have wondered about that. I have worked in social media since the late 90s, before they called it social media actually, so I always wondered how all these people get any work done when they are on Facebook, Youtube etc all day long. :)

No not all, but I am a government servant and am on verge of retirement, and I am on leave so I enjoy social networking. People are so addicted to this site that even when they get small break, they open this site and see how they have fared in last sitting. And if time permits they give some answers on this Ask.com. to enjoy their leisure time.

Perfect summary of why we do this. I hope you enjoy retirement, and hope you'll use your lifetime of wisdom to help young guys like myself. But I still think that most of us have way too much free time during business hours. Thanks for the answer.
Report as
INSHA-ALLAH Yes if God permits I will help all those who need my help and will try to guide the young generation with my experience, some times I may be wrong but the experience counts. Hope you will enjoy.

I'm a baker, so I work at least 5 hours every day... by the time I get home, I'm tired and want to relax. lately, rather than sitting at the computer from the time I get home to the time I go to bed, I've been trying to go out and socialize sans computer/internet.
but most school age kids that either don't have or refuse to get jobs sit on social networking sites from the time they get out of school to the time they go to bed... but that's what we get for having the internet around, I guess....

Soon enough mommy and daddy kick the lazy delinquents out. Then the real world hits them fast and hard. On the other hand, most jobs are becoming web based, and this could open up oppotunities for them.thanks for your insight.

I am a farmer, and I currently have a broken foot, so I am spending more time on the computer than normal. But even while farming, I find a few minutes here and there throughout the day to check in on my various favorite sites via my smartphone.

Hope your foot heals fast.

Thanks. Since the hubs sees no reason for me to see the orthopedic surgeon as recommended, I'm not healing as I should. But I appreciate the thought.

I paint parttime and spend most of my time in the ocean.So I'm not on here all day. A chick bought her laptop to the hangout and Everybody triped on the questions. So she hooked it up on my iPod and I check it out now and then. But not all day like you and some of the other nice people can. By the way , what do you do?

Thanks for the answer. I'm a metrologist. I work for MAN turbo in south africa. Its a cnc workshop that makes high pressure steam turbines and blades. I measure the blades and give a stamp if they can run the job. I write programs for a machine called a cmm. I help the cnc programmers and engineers get the blades into tolerance. I ride freestyle motocross demos and comps when I get time. I get breathing time in the day, but I must sit here none the less. Thanks again, my question is more directed at frequent users.

Haha, thanks for that. She's been on my case a lot recently. I know I'm stubborn and very opiniated, but that's what this site is for. We need various opinions from different directions.

If you ever see her ask a question, it will be directly pointed at me. Haha. I sit and do this at work. She exaggerates about me sitting on my phone at home and ignoring her. I only do that sometimes

Actually my parents are both doctors my dad is an internal medicine doctor while my mom is a family practice doctor. They have hardly any time for social networking. Maybe once in a while my mom didn't get a facebook until last month so they prefer not to really use it because they have absolutely no time.

Thank goodness, your parents have very important jobs. Are you going in the same direction as them?

I'm a truck driver and when I'm sitting around waiting to get loaded/unloaded I play games and social network.

Thanks, its nice to get answers from so many varieties of people. It looks like most employed people actually have a lot of free time on their hands. I know a few drivers down here in south africa. They make big bucks, but the crime and curuption is so bad. Most of the hijackers are sent by the employers and the clients. My bud was hijacked with a load of pc's and laptops. Turned out to be connected to the client and the tracking company.scary stuff

Yep CB. I retired from the Railroad, then got my Class A, then retired from it all. Lot of down time while loading. =)

I was just wondering if you are on the road or local. Both of my uncles are truck drivers too :) One is local and the other is on the road.
Report as
I'm a regional driver. I drive for a restaurant delivery company and I'm home every 2-4 days. I did a year and a half with and over the road company and the pay was horrible as well as being away from home five weeks at a time. This company, I'm paid by the day rather than the mile so the pay is consistent and higher than industry standard.

Yes, photography. You just take pictures, they buy it, hopefully you get a staff job, and you just edit pictures which is really easy.

Photography is also really fun. And with the right connections you can go anywhere, back stage, white house, everest, weddings, front row to sport events. Must be a dream.
