I noticed alot of people are still haunting this forum. I am rather curious as to how many and from where. So, I started this thread for that purpose. I see alot of conversations about game mechanics, and how to fix things, ect. but i don't see very much information about anybody's life outside of EFS. Considering the small size of the forum; I think it would be nice to get to know everyone a bit better. We are a strange community. So basicly this thread is just an open-ended conversation that you might have over a beer with friends.
My name is Garison, i am from Canada. I work as a department manager at the local grocery store. I am addicted to games
I grew up in the country. I had a single mom as a parent, and had 3 siblings. We were not rich or poor, my mom had alot of mouths to feed, but we never wanted for much. She worked as a nurse. I went to a small rural school of about 300 people (the total school 300.) I spent alot of time climbing trees and enjoying outdoors. I did well in school,but did not involve myself with anything extracaricular. I was good at math, but very bad with english. I was put in "special ed" (handicap) class for a few years because of it. At the time i had amazing math skills, but that changed when i was 12. I woke up one day and could seriously read anything i looked at. it all "clicked". however i also lost alot of my math skills. I use to write backwards, from right to left, and in mirror image. All my pre-school notebooks are in mirrior image. Now i do my math in reverse and my english normal...when i do math in my head i start at the left and work backwards. I do math normally on paper however. After a few more years i graduated high-school with slightly above average marks and made my way to university. I did exceptionally well in programming and markedly bad in most other subjects. so,i shifted gears and started working. I worked small part-time jobs for a few years,and met a girl I could handle living with (or maybe that could handle living with me who knows
). fortified and craving adventure (a few home-cooked meals will do that for a man) I started a small business. My business did well for a few years, but eventually my partner backed out, and i networked my way into a assistant-department manager job, and now i am a department operator, which is somewhere between assistant manager, and manager. When working, Time flows quickly in memory and slowly when approached. which brings me to now. I am once again inflamed with the cravings of adventure. My objective is to accumulate 125,000-ish dollars, and retire with some nice REITs in my portfolio.
122,000 dollars to go!
Sorry for the biography folks. I am long winded. Becareful asking questions
