I am not that good at being patient. Blame it on my German roots, my parents, or my restless spirit.  I do have patience with people....sometimes to a fault. Too much benefit of the doubt...too much lenience. But with situations, it is different story. 

I am currently waiting on two things, results from a job application and the impending judgment from a literary agent. Now I am not really one to fuss or blame the person. 

I know they are busy and have lives and responsibilities. I get that. I'm not tapping my foot at them....but I am coming unglued here. It is in a good way....excited, anticipation, ready to take the next step whatever that may be....but STILL.....

There is only so much pacing a person can do before they create trenches in their carpet.  

*Sigh* Most days I find things to do, stories to work on, things to...ummm....sort of clean :). 

But today, I want to pout. Pout and kill thing....(virtually of course). Looks a day of video games and day dreaming awaits me.
