I want an x-box 360 and a ps3. I currently have no job. In the current working environment it seems that no one wants to hire me. I can pay my bills but just my bills. I can not afford to have fun, or have many outlets for leisure activities. I fear of losing my mind of boredom. So my proposal is to barter my time and abilities for both gaming systems.

What I can/am willing to do for 6 mos. to 1 year to achieve both gaming systems:

Front/Rear/Side Lawn Care (Mowing, Raking, Digging, Trash Collection, Trimming, Pruning, Hedge Trimming, etc.)
Indoor Cleaning and Laundry (Vacuuming, Dusting, Sweeping, Moping, Bathroom Care, Kitchen Care, Laundry)
Pet Grooming and Care (Walking, Baby-sitting, Washing and general care assistance)
Auto (Washing, Waxing, Buffing)
Baby-sitter (Please No infants 7-15y.o I can get along with)
Personal Assistant for 6 mos. (Scheduling, Errand Running, To be specified upon request)
Elderly Care (Cooking, Cleaning (Home), Activities Partner, Errand Running)
General Labor (Ask and I'll let you know)

Aside from the gaming systems all I ask is for honesty, and the necessary tools to be provided for the job. I, in return, will submit to a background check
drug screen and shall provide references upon request. This is no joke. I want those gaming systems and am willing to work very hard to get them and save myself from boredom.
I hope to hear from somebody!

My question is - if you had no means to earn money, what would you do to get your gaming fix?
