Edit: I love it too, but when I'm bored I work on some side project (never completed one!) instead
It gives me a feeling of fulfillment if I can do a bit of work for 10 minutes and help people out.
In my case I've been diagnosed in the spectrum of autism, I know it's my problem if I get easily bored, not because I'm not checking my work email while I'm on holiday.
