Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 22:52:38 -0400 From: Kafka Dreams To: void Subject: the joys of tech support I wrote a song today. I wrote it for a lot of people. I wrote it for the 3 out of 4 departments who blew off my meeting this morning after making me get up early to run it. I wrote it for the customer who made me pre-build a complicated filter to be uploaded at a specific time then called in 45 minutes late and completely changed his request. I wrote it for the customer who, after SCREAMIN' & YELLIN' & makin' me spend 4 hours trouble-shooting a huge knotty rusted WRETCHED problem actually LOOKED AT HIS DAMN LAN and discovered (once I'd given up & passed the problem on to the next level) that someone had made a TYPO on his firewall. In fact, I wrote it for a number of my more SPECIAL customers. It's a Country Western song, cuz I felt that genre could best capture my mood. It's a love song. Mostly cuz I love singing it. It's called: "I Hate You... But Yer Too Damn Dumb To Notice" And it goes exactly like this - I hate you, And yer little dog too... I hate you, Wanna strangle you with a nooooose... I hate you, Oh I swear it's truuuuue... I! Hate! You! But yer just too dumb To notice. I hate you, So quit smilin' ya freak... I hate you, No one wants to hear you speak... I hate you, One more question and I'll shriek... I! Hate! You! But yer just too dumb To notice. I hate you, Gonna cut you in two... I hate you, I'll make a really stinky stew... I hate you, I'm gonna boil your rotting corpse down to a thick n' pasty pudding and force feed it to your parents because they GAVE BIRTH TO YOU and I'm gonna stuff it down your friends' throats because THEY LET YOU LIVE and I'm going to make everyone who ever KNEW YOU SPEW! BECAUSE! I! HATE! YOU! BUT yer just TOO damn dumb To notice. Kelly J. Cooper 10-7-96
