Yesterday's Post

Well, I completely forgot to post yesterday. I even knew what it was that I was going to mention yesterday. I just got distracted and forgot to post. Stupidly, what bugs me the most is that this post, which is intended to be yesterday's post is going to have today's date on it.

Anyway, I tend to have a problem with impatience. I get particularly impatient in lines. Nobody really likes lines, but I go from zero to impatient in o seconds flat. The person who doesn't know what they want when they are at the counter of McDonald's makes me want to throttle them. The person who asks the clerk six million questions makes me want to strangle them.

Yesterday's person was in line at Target. She was one of those older people who don't quite get things like debit cards and gift cards. They keep goofing up the transaction even after the cashier has explained things several times. Inevitably, I am in a hurry when behind this person and have only a few items to purchase. I really want my transaction to be of the wham bam thank you ma'am. I get to the point where I want to shove the person out of the way and say "Oh, will you just let me do it!" I probably would get irritated with my 99-year-old Great Aunt Gen if she was in front of me.

Well, fortunately I realized that this particular slow person was a chance for me to do my one thing for the day. It would definitely be an improvement for myself and advance my life forward if I were to lick this pesky impatience problem. So, I practiced be patient waiting in line. And it worked. This is probably going to have to be a daily one thing for me, because it is a big issue.
