dear corporate america (and india):
I HATE YOUR GUTS. all your guts, with all those tech support (ha!) people and useless automatons who manage to waste hours upon ours of my life for NOTHING. REALLY? DID I NEED SOMEONE ACROSS THE COUNTRY/GLOBE TO TELL ME THAT I INDEED, DO NOT HAVE A BROWSER ICON IN MY PHONE?! do they not trust me? is it me? of COURSE IT’S NOT ME, IT’S OUR GOD-FORSAKEN (YES, GOD FOR-SAK-EN) CORPORATE MEGA-LIFE-KILLING-….thing. only in america can i sit on hold for an hour with nothing to show for it. freedom to rot. (hey, BOTS- look! i used ‘america’ and ‘freedom’ in close proximity- ya gonna send up a yellow flag on this one?!) is nothing holy? fine, forget holy- just…respectable? i mean, time! it’s important! and it’s really not that i mind spending 2.5 hours doing one thing- i mind that it has to be SO INCREDIBLY MIND NUMBINGLY USELESS AND, just a total drain on humanity’s resources. the poor guy who had to deal with my voice 2 octaves above its normal tone and on the verge of tears (not a pretty sound)- what did he do to deserve that? nothing! except be caught up in humanity’s beloved machine of a system for “civilization.” currently, though no luddite by a long shot, i fail to see the beauty of our innovations BECAUSE I’M STILL SEEING RAGE RED.
and what do i get to come home to? the freaking DOS in the form of idiotic red tape paperwork that says that IN ORDER FOR US TO PROCESS YOUR (NOT MY) APPLICATION, LINE 20 MUST BE FILLED OUT. line 20 can go to hell because this is the FIFTH TIME THEY HAVE SENT BACK THE SAME FREAKING APPLICATION FOR PETTY REASONS aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- how many trees, man-hours, energy, etc was WASTED on that? too much to count- i’m baffled. i’m about ready to fly to bangladesh with a really big suitcase, stick my pregnant aunt’s husband in it, check it and let them throw it in the cargo hull, and SMUGGLE him in. THAT’S RIGHT I SAID SMUGGLE- i bet you my readership went up by one (why flatter myself? let’s say a half) more tax-paid worker/computer.
is it worth my sanity? can’t i just become a drifter or something? no? fine, but you’re going to have to put up with a heck of a lot more posts like this.
edit: and i’m sick. :(
edit2: and my mommy’s sick.
edit3: and my imam wasn’t feeling well today either! and he was in the office from 9-5 on sunday, not counting fajr or maghrib or isha!!!
