Sounds like you should give him a call - or have him call you - Shock. With three whole weeks of OTR, I'm not convinced I'm what Socialist Grad...er - sorry, bad dig at the People's Republic of Boulder, there..

where was I?

oh. yeah. I'm not sure I'd have anything Soc Grad could use...

Thanks for the support Lurch and Shock, I look forward to talking with you both eventually.

As I have mentioned before, all I need to do is to chat on the phone for about an hour. It doesn't seem like an "interview," just a conversation. In fact, most folks find it a little therapeutic because no one usually asks about their work, and I'm very interested in it. And I promise I'm not a weirdo or anything.

Lurch- I would love to hear about your experiences while in school. It seems with all of these horror stories that I've heard about these schools, I'm glad that you were able to find a good one.

Shock- Just waiting to hear from ya buddy. Did you get my last PM?

Hope everyone had a good 4th!

YuP.
But I'm having E-mail problems too complicated for me to figure out. When it comes to computers, I'm one of the dummies who reads those books For Dummies.

If we can figure a way around that, .......
well,......... I'll just leave that to your imagination.

Snail Mail?
Hmmmmmm
I think that still works.
Please
No COD's ......
