Does your employer know?

If we consider my employers my kids, then yes, they know. Sort of. Well they can't read, and I call it "work". "Mommy's working!" Does that make me a bad mother? Trust me, it's more true than not! I only play my imm while my kids are present.. they are far too distracting to play mortals although they are mercifully getting more self sufficient and I did manage a cloistered Herald all the way up to an impressive level thirty-something during their lego sessions.

Do they care?

Yes. Usually it's, "But MOMMMMMY! I'm HUNGRY/THIRSTY/BORED!" and anything that prevents me from instantly jumping up and gratifying their whim is something they care about. Sheesh, them kids and their needs!

Would they care if they knew?

My daughter, the only one old enough to speak, would probably be much more interested if she DID know what it was I really was doing. In fact, often she asks me to play my "Dragon Game" which refers to any graphical game I've ever played (Except for Knights of the Old Republic, which is "the Jedi Game" or "the Jawa Game").. she likes games. Too bad she can't read!

I'm sure this was of no help to you, but perhaps mildly amusing.
