Woes of a Telemarketer

I sit here
Before a computer screen
A headset on my ear
A constant assult in my mind

The phone rings
Sighs of exasperation
Words of accusation
And curses galor

Hi can I speak to So-and-so
Its you know who
Uh-oh, sorry for disturbing you
Have a nice day

Why cant I be rescued?
My knight in black leather
Ride up on the steel steed
Take me away from my torture

But I still sit here
Trapped in my chair
Assalting those I call
With my sales pitch

Im so sorry
I dont like what I do
Please dont hate us
Telemarketers loath it as much as you.

Well, I'm a TM but I just schedule appts for people and all that. I know your pain, but I happen to think it's funny as hell, I had an 85 year old man tell me to fuck myself last week.

I like the whole "knight in black leather" thing. But yeah this sort of makes me sorry for all the times I hung up on telemarketers.

If you take a job that furthers a harmful political system, you hate the job in the first place, and you probably don't agree with the system either, the only bitching you should be doing is about your total lack of judgment and foresight.
