I am a calculator. My job is a tiresome one. All day my buttons are pushed. I am depended on much more than I should be and the humans handling me become angry when I "don't give them the right answer." I may know everything, but I'm not just going to give up an answer to an incompetent human. They have to at least try to punch in the correct questions instead of getting angry at me for being "wrong." I should be the one getting frustrated here! They angrily push my buttons over and over again and barely ever let me see the sunlight. I'm hardly out of my case! Even when I am, I don't get to see much. I frequent classrooms where I hear the teacher asking for someone to compute something using me, and everything is dead silent for a minute or two until someone sighs and pulls me out of their backpack. Other than that, I see a lot of nighttime study sessions where I sit idly by until I'm needed, though that still isn't much. Despite all of this, I gotta admit, I do love my job. It's a good life. Maybe I just complain a bit too much.
