hmmm…..
My internet service is really slow this morning. Seems like it is taking forever to log on – and I have 3G! It’s very frustrating and I am impatient. So maybe that’s what I need to write about today – patience.
I have great patience in some situations. It’s easy to have compassion for children or my older adult friends when they can’t move so fast. But callers on the telephone are an entirely different matter. It really annoys me when I call for medical information and am confronted, once again with the question, “Can I confirm your date of birth?” and “Can I confirm your address?” Seems like I have already told them a hundred times; can’t they get it right? I almost bit a poor call center worker’s head off yesterday because she asked me those simple questions. Again.
But this time the inquirer very patiently responded that it was the new privacy act laws that now required them to ask those annoying questions. I think she was as impatient with the process as I was!
Patience. It’s something you don’t want to pray for – as in: “God, give me patience; and I want it now!” Patience is something to be cultivated, it happens over time. But patience sure comes in handy at times. In my case an ounce of patience is usually worth a pound of brains.
Now, if I could just get this dang server to hurry up!
hmmm…..
