As a former call center slave, I couldn't help but identify with most of what you have written about, especially at the end when you realize that you have been complaining about it ad nauseum.

Unsolicited advice from a complete stranger who may have walked a similar path: get out. Do something else, it doens't matter what--bartend, administrative work, construction, go back to school, anything is fine. When you hate it (the call center), it consumes you and you can't see anything except how sh!tty it is, even if it really isn't that bad.

I gave three years of my time and effort to a call center, hated virtually every second of it, and finally left. While I make less $ now, my life is exponentially better.
 

Thanks for commenting and I have taken your advice to heart already. Married men with large amounts of debt can't cut and run as easy as they could when they were in their 20's. I have a plan to leave, and its coming together. I do appreciate your concern. You seem like a good guy.
