> In the meantime, it's a wonderful feeling to look at the calendar and know that my time left in *this* job is now measured in weeks, and that I achieved what I set out to do. And also, of course, to know that I will NEVER DO CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER AGAIN KTHXBYE.

Yay for you, BG. I really respect people like you who have the courage to make those type of choices. I remmeber going through University doing a science degree, thinking I didn't ever want to sit at a desk and push paper. I ended up doing that for nearly four years, and even when I got out of it, it was because of a "push" from someone else, not a conscious decision on my part.

I also know what you mean about customer facing types of jobs. I have done them and I hate them with a passion. My ultimate job phobia is a teacher, 'cos I just KNOW I would suck terribly at it.

Bea"Apologies to all the Rink-teachers, you do a great job that I never could"sty
