[olug] Finally, geek for a living

[Eric Lusk]

Yeah, I did the tech support thing at West for a
while... Not a good thing for someone with allergies,
I found myself losing my voice talking so much on the
phone....
But you've got to HAVE a job to GET one, so I had no
problem doing the customer service job I'm doing; I
was even referred by my current employer to my future
one.
So long as I can keep busy, I'll be in good shape. 
Been so underpaid for so long that I'll probably still
have to do the bankruptcy thing to catch back up to
where I used to be...
For those of you looking, make sure you have a good
resume and you may have to be willing to do some
pathetic job to get by while you look, but it sure
beats sitting around the house doing nothing.
At least, most of the time...
