Your favorite game as a child

paidreader @paidreader (5143) • United States 11 Aug 07

JMCarebear Since I more or less baby sat since I was 6 I did things to keep the little ones entertained. And even then I got into trouble for not doing something that I didn't know that I was supposed to do

JMCarebear My work experience showed that once I started getting bored with the job it'd be about 3 months later that I would be looking for another job. Out of every 12 months I'd usually worked about 8. How's that for a lousy work history
