WAITING
Valued customer…
Thank you for choosing…
I’m going to put you on hold…
Thank you for your patience…
Are you still there?
Hold please…
Let me transfer you…
How can I help you today?
Repeat, repeat, repeat…
That music is not calming…
Your self-promoting commercials are not convincing…
I hear the associate’s dog barking in the background…
Or the murmur of hundreds in echoing cubicles…
I used to be a patient person…
I want to be still…
This is not his fault, her fault, not their dream job…
And still…I’m stuck… we’re all stuck…
Thanks, no thanks, corporate America…
Waiting…
