Are you doing mylot as a hobby or simply to fill up free time? Do you do your posts for mylot while you are at work? If you are doing it during work hours, what kind of work are your doing? How much time are you spending on mylot

I think I am on the lot more to fill in time than a hobby ,I am writing this at work now as I have no patients at this time .I am a phelbotomist ( blood collector) and I usually wait around till the doctors send them in here for blood tests, so until then I have free time and I hate being bored. cheers Sue

I guess that leaves you free to do mylot..when there is no blood to collect. I would imagine you see lots of blood in your time at work? Do you make lots of money. It's nice you can find time to be on mylot to share your wealth of knowledge.

I guess as a hobby or distraction from my day. Though I can't access mylot at work so that's a plus, one can't be risking their job now days employers monitor computer usage and inappropriate use can be grounds for a reprimand or even termination depending on the case.

I hear you on that. But I think if you do this on your break it shouldn't be any violation; but, then that's just my opinion.

Perhaps it depends on company rules. I know it also can be judged on the content that was in an e-mail and other things. People have gotten in trouble for sending or forwarding inappropriate e-mails... even opening them they can get in trouble! I had a former boss who used his company laptop for inappropriate viewing and it was on of several reasons he lost his job. Even though he was probably viewing the material at home BUT it was still a company laptop and when others when to use it they found the said materials.

I'm doing mylot more like a hobby. and I am on there almost all the time while I am busy or free. Talking about that, I have been on there from morning and i have a lot of things to do around the house. I guess I am just addicted.

I love coming on to mylot as well. We meet so many nice people, and sometimes, by asking help for things we are going through we get a better way of handling our own situation.

I come into MyLot and visit with my friends while I am taking a break from my online earning projects. This is a great place to relax and have a few laughs too. I look forward to seeing many people here. It is a great way to unwind and lessen the stress.

I'm retired, so I don't MyLot at work. If I worked, I wouldn't be MyLotting; one, because I was too busy; and two, it's not ethical. I MyLot when I'm not busy at home or am procrastinating (instead of watering the yard/garden, fixing things, doing my personal paperwork...). I also MyLot because there are a few people I enjoy talking to. The money certainly isn't it... On some days, I spend way to many hours MyLotting. On others, like yesterday, I don't MyLot hardly at all.

Right on..it's not ethical to be doing internet posts when you should be focusing on your employment; but, if you have no employent ..why not enjoy the nice friends on mylot. .It's an awesome site.

That's what I do...I'm not employed so I enjoy my friends on MyLot, say my two cents worth on controversial issues...and sometimes get a "paycheck"...not bad.

I guess you could count it as a hobby. Most of my free time is spent here, as at the moment I want to try and earn some pretty pennies on the side and surprise my family with treats for Christmas but I am also enjoying it. I really enjoy coming here to communicate with people, as well making friends which I hope to get to know better. I don't do it while at work, I post only outside of work as I wouldn't have the time. Happy Mylotting LF :)

I used to do mylotting only during free times. I do not do much during work hours.But I now it has become a regular habit, though on one day the participation could be more and on some other day it could be less.I spend half an hour a day minimum.When I have free time I get so involved that I log out from mylot only after 2 to three hours.

Hi littlefranciscan, well I am on mylot daily just like I check my emails, the same way I do check for discussions, and respond to them if I have something to share. Well I am on mylot since a year now, and it is really nice place to be. I also do mylotting from work place as well, depending upon the time I have, as my main job is to do mentoring the team members, so I do get time to do mylotting as well. Was bit difficult to spend time here couple of months ago as my team members were new and were under training, but now again I am able to find the time and do respond on work as well. Never calculated how much time I am spending on mylot, it is just I do mylotting whenever I feel.

I know how you mean.. When I started working for my previous employer..I was limited to what I could do ..other then that job. I was hit and miss. I find I need this contact with others.. Some feel cyber contact such as that takes place in social forums isn't the same as one to one contact; but, I find immense support here and find a great link to people here and on other social networks. Glad you were able to become more active,again, on mylot.com

I do it more of a hobby then anything else, in fact I never even think about the cash part to me its just fun to come in and read and some days just answer a few discussions, I am not always in here but I do come in every now and then just to look around and to find something interesting or even exciting. I maybe spend around 1 to 2 hours here maximum a day, if even that.

Are you telling me you never peek at how much money you have in your cash box? I don't come here for money; but, that mylot offers an incentive does enocourage me.

Well, I post in mylot whenever I can spare time. It's already part of my life. But I don't while while working. Whatever I do, I focus completely on that and nothing can distract my attention.

Well for one thing mylotting can really be addictive I guess that's because we are all known as social animals.. lol.. Anyways I'm just doing mylot as a hobby. It's fun and it's adictive. Kudos and cheers.

It depends on the day. The past few days I've been spending a lot of time on mylot because my friends are out of town at the moment so I don't really have anywhere to go out to. It's been beneficial though because it has increased my activity on here which increases other things on here. There definitely are days though when I'm not able to get on as much as other days.

Well I just just started. I'm on summer vacation without a job and now I wish I had applied for one. But anyway, I'm hoping this can make me a little extra cash while i'm away from school *fingers crossed*
