Waiting I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but I'm not a big fan of waiting.  If it's truly special, then fine, I'll wait.  But it had better be pretty damn good when it arrives if I've been waiting a significant amount of time.  If it's just an everyday thing, then I expect it to run on time, or at the very least, hurry the hell up.  Here's a short list of things I hate waiting for.  If you have anything to add to the list, use the comments section at the end. I hate waiting for... my illegal, copyrighted downloads to go ahead and download. the pizza guy to figure out where apartment 209 is. the Super Bowl pre-game week to stop and the freakin' game to start. the next available customer service representative who will answer my call in the order it was received. my laundry to go from moist to dry. a significant cold front that will turn the blistering heat outside down a little. the Fed Ex dude who acts like he's my best friend everytime he drops off a package. the phone guy, cable guy, maintenance guy, exterminator guy, or any other guy who said they'd be here before a certain time that was certainly three hours ago. Godot. a decent Star Wars movie. the thirty minutes of uninterrupted rock after the forty five minutes of uninterrupted car and beer commercials. my credit card balances to drop. word on my job applications. the neighbors to stop spawning so I can get some sleep. the water tank on the toilet to fill-up so I can flush again. my waiter to decide that I can have my bill. I'm also sick of waiting for the life that I know is awaiting me.  And I'm also tired of waiting for someone else to decide that it is time for me to stop waiting. PS:  If someone was waiting for me to update this site today, I'm sorry. 4:22:49 PM     |
