When i was a little girl one of my favourite "games' was to get the button jar and tip all the buttons out and sort them -- into colours, sizes, all kinds of ways.<br /><br />My first ever job was in a dog & cat boarding kennels in the school holidays.

It's a very satisfying task. I understand your button covering fear!!!<br />I have only ever had one job: teaching, which I loved.
