Oh.  I wouldn't mind a pre-production job like character designer or storyboard or something.  Just the actual animation is a pain in the freaking butt.  And I've done actual pencil on paper stuff too.  For all the times I complain about motion tweens and other short cuts in Flash, that's all the stuff I did.  Granted.  One person dabbling for several months on a single couple minute short while balancing other projects and barely getting the hang of the program is different than a full studio.
Still, I wish things went differently years ago.  Even if it was a behind the behind the scenes bit.
