You would think that with the amount of patience that I have waiting would not be that big of a deal. With the not so important stuff, I can wait. Not that big of a deal. With stuff that matters and stuff that I am tired of dealing, the waiting is killing me.
I don't remember this, but my older brother told me a story that I wanted to play with a neighbor so bad that I sat in front of his house for hours waiting for him to come home so I could play. There are so many things that I can sit and wait for. The reason is, things happen in there time and there is usually not that much that I can do to make whatever it is happen faster. So, I wait.
That being said, I hate making people wait. I try to get whatever I am working on done so that the person waiting on me can get done what they have to. Also, with me...at some point that large amount of patience finally runs out. And this issue goes with what legal stuff I have been dealing with.
7 years ago, I was an easy going guy. Was doing a lot of theater work. Working a low end job, but had full benefits and was able to do the large amount of theater work. Changed jobs within the company, met a girl that I fell for and stopped doing the theater work due to the fact that I was working a lot more hours than I was before.
Then the girl started testing my patience. A daunting task, I assure you, but I was tested nonetheless.
Finally, after a couple years the patience was gone. Not a couple of days. Not a couple of months. But a couple of years before I finally had enough and said no more. And what was funny about that...she said that I no longer had patience for her.
If I wasn't so mad, I would have laughed my ass off. Think about it. Someone works on you for years and then wonders why the patience is now gone.
I just realized that this post went more to the Patience realm than the Waiting. But to me, Patience and Waiting are almost the same thing. In this case...the Patience is gone and I no longer want to wait. But I have to because I have to wait for others to do what they need to do before I can do what I need to do.
