The Life of a Customer Service Representative

Unedited from August 31st, 2004

Don't yell at me!
I'm just like you -
tired, troubled and busy too.
Yet you find it fit
to blame me
for your fatigue and stupidity.
If I could yell back - I would!
I'd tell you that I'm human,
that life isn't easy for me.
Caught up in societies claw
I take your anger as my job.
Am I happy?
Would you be if you were me?
I'd yell right back,
and blame you for
a computer's lack of simplicity.
Yet here we are,
you yelling at me,
as I try to solve your problems.
But you're still not happy!
