A riff on patience....

       My family is fond of reminding me that I lack patience. This characterization is partially true. When it come to patience, like in many other ways, I am random. In some situations patience abounds but in many others it is in short supply. Impatience coupled with impulsiveness has occasioned some dumb choices.

     Last Friday, as previously reported, my eye exam concluded at noon. Reporting to the eye glasses store at that time put me at number 13 in the queue. Because it was lunchtime only one technician was on duty. Big decision "Should I wait patiently or return another day?" Opting for the 'return option' today was the day. When I check in there were only 4 ahead of me, and my wait time was about 30 minutes. This affirmed my choice. My new glasses will be mailed in a couple of weeks.
