October 28, 200619 yr Bank of America network engineer - oh yes it's all very interesting stuff snore... Whenever you get junk mail from MBNA, or from Virgin, or from Alliance and Leicester, or Abbey, or god knows how many other credit cards, I've been a part of filling your doormat with ****. Whenever you ring the companies above to speak to a human, and you get an infuriating automated (IVR) to talk to instead - that's me again. When you get cold called in the middle of your favourite TV program by some annoying sales bloke - yep, I provide the connectivity for those diallers. And a few other bits and pieces that rather than annoy you would probably bore you to tears
