I am the manifestation of those dreams
Which abandon under the pretense of logic
I believe myself improbable and so I am
Prompt 41 Consuming Impatience
Today’s prompt is consuming impatience which let’s face it in today’s fast-paced gratification-driven society we experience way more often then we should. If you need to connect with the feeling just think back to the dark ages of dial up. When I first got the internet back in ’99 I spent more time waiting to establish a connection then I spent online surfing. I am the first to admit that I am impatient. When I know the time frame I am pretty tolerant even if the wait is long, it’s the not knowing that disturbs me the the most. Some more examples to contemplate
Waiting (traffic jams, doctor’s appointments, inconsiderate dates, waiting for a child to finish eating)
Listening (I love Sam and he is an interesting and highly amusing guy but he takes epic conversational pauses. Often I think he’s finished talking and wander off when he’s still buffering)
Assembling Ikea furniture (actually I love assembling furniture but Sam beats me to it)
Learning something new in a challenging area
You’re hungry and there’s no food in sight (this for me is the worst)
Lust
Tech support I have never called them as I’m married to the IT guy but I hear it is awful
Arguments
An alternative prompt
Consider what your life would be like without the internet. How would you fill your days? What would your social life look like? Would you be more isolated? Did you meet someone special/irreplaceable online that you might not have met? Would you exercise more? Do you spend an unhealthy amount of time online? Or do your friendships online keep you from certain destructive addictions?
