it eats your soul, but as soon as you get to quit you start to heal. i've done the call center thing (and answered my home phone a bit oddly for months afterward), and am currently doing the factory thing. wtf?? this is NOT what i signed up for. it's icky, but i DO get to play with the cnc machines which is pretty shiny. *grin* hang in there, bob m'bud. i prescribe chocolate and cartoons. if i hear of anything in film, i'll mention it even if it's in outer mongolia - which is just as likely as me "hearing" of anything in south central iowa. heh.
