It was very demoralizing. I did have one call center job before, doing political surveys over the phone. It was okay at first, but people started getting really belligerent and rude and I'm too sensitive for that. I think I could do call center work, but not sales or surveys again.

If it comes to it, I'll have to look for work a little farther than I'd like but hopefully not too far.

I've decided to let the centerpiece issue go, for the most part. I'm going to suggest adding a few more colors to it, but not a complete overhaul.
