    Thanks, everybody, I am going to quit the job.  I was asking mostly
    to confirm my feeling that the conditions are bad and I'm not just
    wimping out or imagining things.  I do have my "other" part time job
    so its not going to be any worse financially than it has been over
    the past year. 

    These folks that I'm working for are working out of their basement
    and I just don't feel like going after them by siccing OSHA on them.
    Up to now they've done all the work themselves (well, one of them
    does most of the work and now she's sick, big surprise) so its not a
    pattern of employee abuse so much as it is self abuse.  I did try to
    talk to them about venting, but the one who makes all the decisions
    just blew me off.  Horse + water NOT = drink in this case. 

Thanks again for all the advice.
Sojourner
