Mike,

Congrats on the new gig. May we all be so lucky.

I have felt your pain. Spent 1st 18 years of my career performing direct mail related data processing tasks. Fortunately, that ended about 4 years ago. About the only good that came out of it was that it did allow me to be employed in the computer field before there were PCs on every workers desk. Oh, and I did meet my wife on the job.

I have flashbacks whenever I hear USPS, CASS, SERP, De-Dupe, CRRT, Keycodes, Maildates etc. Oh, lets not forget the good ole impact printer and the cold fusion laser printer. Also, for every nice person in that industry, there are 10 a-holes. That wears you down a bit.
