I couldn't check or send email look anything up, or do anything but sit at that infernal desk 8 hours a day and wait for the phone to ring. Try it sometime. Even if you're getting paid, it's still a pain.<BR/><BR/>The "qualifications" I had to do this are that I type 80-90 wpm and know all Microsoft Office programs at an advanced level.
