That was genius! I work in retail, and while I don't deal with the phones (thankfully!) I was so tempted to show this to the customer service desk, it's so true and they would've loved itn8littlefield said:A Call Center Christmas Wish
Santa when you make your list
and check it once, then twice
I beg you consider this request
before marking me "Not Nice".
I work in customer service
and every day I spend
Eight hours showing callers that I care
(or at least that's what I pretend.)
I spend all week in a small grey cube
in an aging rolling chair.
My headset tethers me to my desk
and leaves a weird part in my hair.
Now you may be thinking
"That sounds fine - how could you NOT be nice?"
But it's not that simple and here is why
I'd like that list checked THRICE.
I've been cursed at more than fifty times -
in spanish and french to boot.
And not once did I swear back at them
(without my phone on mute.)
I've been called a liar, and a thief
a douchebag and a pain.
I've been called ten different racial slurs -
impressive for a white guy from Maine.
Just please don't pay attention
to the things I say under my breath -
when I tell my customers to bite me
or plan their fiery death.
I'm sure you've seen me hang up on them
to get the final word.
And I guess it could have looked naughty
when I flipped my monitor the bird.
And yes it's true I do slack off
and browse the web during all my calls
except for GBATemp.net -
damn work firewall.
But Santa forgive me one more year
for being a slacker and a slob
and grant me my one christmas wish -
Please bring me a better job.

I already thought you forgot to mention GBAtemp.net in the lyrics, but you said it in the end.

I really like the lyrics, and most of the music in the song, the voice is great and so is the progession, but i feel that the breakdown detracted A LOT from the rest of the song, also I dislike the fact that it really isnt about gbatemp other than the fact that you talk about DS Lites, and games....then mention it at the end. Anyay just some constructive criticizm, but overall it is pretty good.

I didn't read that part. My story has nothing to do with "why I deserve Christmas presents". More about Tempmas and GBAtemp. *sigh*QUOTE said:write a poem or story telling Santa Claus why you deserve your Christmas presents this year.
