Patience. By far the virtue that’s at the bottom of my skills box.
TOP 5 Things I Suck At Doing (when it comes to our “friend” Patience):
1) Waiting in line. I’m the person that makes noise, huffs, puffs, looks around and then starts to bitch out loud to herself. Quite obnoxious.
2) Waiting for packages to come. I’m too cheap to pay express so I just have to settle for obsessively checking the tracking shit.
3) Listening to drawn out explanations of things. I’m good for about 2 minutes or less and then the bears start peddling and I’ve officially checked out of the conversation. Unless of course there’s emotional upheaval involved, then I pay attention. I’m not a total monster.
4) The time spent waiting for the main act after the opener. I love live music, but I hate waiting for the beak down and set up. This is why I usually skip the opener. Less sitting and waiting and it lowers my odds of getting a beer dumped on my head.
5) Waiting for results of any kind. Medical, school, work, whatever. The not knowing stinks and it makes me battier than I already am.
So basically I’m a ball of energy that goes nuts if stuck in one place for two long.
This most definitely needs to be worked on. Once I get cleared from the doctor, (more waiting!), back to yoga it is. I’ll order some stuff and get the slowest shipping possible and trash the tracking number. Maybe that will help? Or I’ll stand in line for some tourist trap in Times Square. But that may involve foaming at the mouth, so maybe I’ll leave that for my final exam. I don’t really care for jail all that much. They don’t have many gluten free options…
