Long Lines

I must here confess that my tone in the recent "Great Equalizer" post was due in part to a patience problem. I pin-pointed it today as I struggled to fight back strong irritation while waiting in a long line at Cingular to get my STUPID cell phone fixed...er, my nice little cell phone fixed FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR FOR THE SAME STUPID PROBLEM...er, for a persisting issue that doesn't seem to have been corrected initially EVEN THOUGH I WAITED IN A LONG LINE THE FIRST TIME TOO...er, though they already had an opportunity to fix the issue.

But I'm certain that having identified the patience thing, I will now be much more gracious when OTHER PEOPLE DISRESPECT MY TIME...er, when I am required to wait my turn.
