Does yahoo answers ever get on your nerves?

They've sent me 32 emails (and counting) telling me I've got a best answer. That would be ok if I had 32 best answers (i wish) but I've only got one. They just keep coming! Grrrrr!

Indeed it does, o great one. For your words are mighty.

the lamentations of Yahoo answers
1. Yahoo answers, once a mighty website, where anyone could post questions, and recieve answers, and treated with dignity. One day I noticed, Yahoo Answers is just another fad just like myspace, and facebook. Just like all dictatorships, it cannot last forever under its corrupt rulership.
2. Yahoo made itself a feature which would surely be abused. It features allow you to report abuse on whatever you feel you should.
3. But unfortunately, there are those called trolls and babies who report whatever they can. These people go on hunts and report unimportant abuses.
4. Yahoo Answers installs the worst rule, one which all would despise, the chat rule. Trolls started having a field day, going around searching for all chats just to report for the fun of ruining others fun. Yet, these cowards were protected for following the rules.
5. So Yahoo starts itself a forum to suggest anyway to improve itself. The poor forum got taken over by yahoo answers butt kissers, who sought not to improve yahoo answers, but shoot down all great suggestions. Their justice was corrupted, and their ignorance was shown. Preaching to every suggestion how Yahoo was doing a great job, and become more strict. So the forum was rendered useless ran by a bunch of morons.
6. The trolls started taking over, making Yahoo loose its most intelligent members. But what do you expect on some low budget service.
7. People start to abuse their freedom of speech, believing that they could insult people asking questions, with ridiculous answers that deserve to be deleted.
8. Arts and humanities becomes abandoned, and no pictures can be judged, nor can anyone find any answers for their questions about art. I guess in the ignorance displayed, there is just no room for Yahoo to carry any culture.
9. Adolescence becomes a category ridded with ignorant slimeballs, whos idea of a good answer is "Get a life," "not cool," "drugs are cool." Sad to say, teens and parents would never be able to ask a question about puberty without being slandered by ignorant a******s.
10. Genders and Womens studies becomes a category that is treated as a social club, that only certain people are allowed to use. Started with radical feminists such as Baba Yaga, it turns into a corrupt category. People there think they can pinpoint trolls, yell at other users, and write up long disgusting rants on how men are pigs.
11. Then we have cultures and groups, which assumes someone is a racist, just for the mere questioning of another ethnicity.
12. Religion and spirituality has been overtaken by fundamentalists and athiest, two opposing sides. Fundamentalist and born again nutjobs give off ignorant, and offensive answers, that they try to justify with scriptures. Athiest go about mocking religion, and thumbs down all pro-religion answers, and thumbs up all rude arrogant answers. Tne Catholics, Mainline Churches, Eastern Orthodox, Jehovahs Witnesses, and Mormons are horribly mocked, and hated.
13. Then there we get the people in government and politics, who support civil obedience, and believe that the way of the government is the same as the way of ethics.
14. No one is free to have a different opinion on how big business and working philosophy should be. Thats up to whoever is in charge, no matter how many people have to suffer. So workoholism, moving to new towns and what not is how it should be, and those who think different are wrong, and deserved to be yelled at and insulted.
15. Questions about urination become Yahoos most touchy subjects. If anyone asks about urination in anywhere thats not a toilet, they are insulted, harassed, reported unfairly, and yelled at. Now, no one asks those questions, nor answers them honestly, because of the monsters that posh this website up. Go to hell you posh a******s.
15. Polls and surveys is the only popular category left, since you dont need much education to answer questions here. Yet, people here are becoming more reserved, since they are too scared to speak out agianst Yahoo Answers.
16. So, in conclusion, due to attacks committed by trolls, top reporters, suck ups, and big babies, Yahoo answers is no longer a safe place for the man who beats by his own drum. Accounts are suspended left and right, rude answers are posted everyday, that no one can survive Yahoo answers without being a politically correct Goody Tooshoo. This is sad. Until Yahoo answers gets its act together, it will fall, and it will be hated and scorned for ever and ever and ever and ever.
17. Heed this message O Yahoo answers, and reform your website, encourage the brilliant, enforce kindness to all questions, dispose the chat rule, create diversity, dispose of all forms of trolling, and this website will always run and never fall. Heed this warning.

Yahoo! Answers in itself is a site i really enjoy participating on.

But due to staffing issues Yahoo! are experiencing many glitches which are severely affecting many Yahoo! services, and although Yahoo! are trying to sort them out, it takes a lot more time now to do so.

Yahoo! currently just do not have the time/money or enough staff to correct all these glitches & bugs.

So yes it is annoying, but i have contained myself and i try to ignore the problems as best i can.

So today I went in for an interview and I was going in for the 2nd interview by the head chief executive. now this is where it got weird, so she asked me about my previous jobs and said how much she liked that product over that product. then she started talking about her daughter? an her divorce ...then how she didn't finish college because she was making more money doing what she did for this company ... then she talked about how her teenage daughter is a handful... I just played it cool thinking she was using some sort of psychology thing to trick me into saying something stupid. the interview ended and she seemed happy an I was escorted to the door... now I'm freaking confused? is this normal behavior for an executive? like it felt like she was going to burst into tears at one point and tell me her life problems... is this normal? was she trying to see how I react or something?

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

Recently I have overlooked for a project at work and I am unable to accept it why? I am hard working, dedicated, maintain a very professional decorum, very cordial with my colleagues and bosses, give respect to one and all. Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work. I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do? I am at my lowest point and not getting hold of my manager to ask the question why not me, why them who can't even bother? I am feeling like a complete loser, giving years to this place, building my performance, trust and this is how I get rewarded. Why my life is so shit, anything I wish for turns to dust?

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!
