Helpdesk.
I'm in the middle of writing the first draft of the script for my short film project, which I've tentatively titled "Helpdesk". Helpdesk is the story of Dave, an upbeat and cheerful corporate cog whose job is to answer a computer tech support telephone line. But the helpline callers slowly and mercilessly beat the cheer out of him.
I envision this to be a two to three minute short film, and if I like the way it turns out, I might do a few more.
I've got the film's set ready to go, save for one item. A phone. Does anyone have or know where I can find a phone that looks like something you'd find on a desk in a corporate office? Something with lots of blinky lights and maybe even a little display on it would be nice. Any ideas?

I have to do a bit of phone support myself, and it has entirely beaten the cheer out of me.
Do you want my phone from MY desk? Then I wouldn't have to answer those support calls anymore! :-) Unfortunately, I suspect my boss wouldn't like that plan too much.
stef: Thankless work sometimes, isn't it? Let me know when its safe to break into your office and steal your phone. Should at least buy you a few hours of freedom, no?
There a thrift shop by my place that has a lot of misc. stuff like that... Unique Thrift. I can swing by and check it out since it's close to me. Keith
I can't believe that with all of the office supplies I've liberated over the years, I never took one of those phones. Stupid morality!
Keith: Would be much appreciated, but only if it isn't too far out of your way.
TOG: I found an un-used phone in my cow-orker's desk yesterday, and for a moment I considered swooping on it. Does that make me immoral?
