I’m an instant gratification kinda gal. Actually, that’s probably a polite way of telling people that I’m as impatient as all get-out! Not with all things….I’m really quite patient with animals and children. And melting glass to make beads. Ok….mostly patient with glass….sometimes not. lol
What I am really NOT patient about is waiting in traffic. Especially when I’m in a hurry and running late and should have already arrived at where I was supposed to be about 8 minutes before-hand (which is usually 99.7% of the time – oops).
I also get grumpy when I have to wait in a queue for too long at the checkout. This usually happens on the days I have forgotten to bring the insulated “cold” bag with me and all the chilly stuff just has to sit there and drip. All I can think of is my ice cream turning into puddles of sweet milk and my chicken thigh fillets turning into a delectable, albeit unplanned, treat for my puppies at their dinner time and not mine. Checkout queue’s are nobody’s fault (except maybe Woollies who insist on having only 2 checkouts open to cope with 4000 customers at some of the busiest times of the day) – just one of those annoying delays…..take a deep breath….
My biggest desire for instant gratification is this:- when I buy something on-line, I usually needed it yesterday! Never mind that I might have procrastinated for a week before buying it! I just need it NOW! Do you ever find that? Surely I’m not alone? I’m like a cat on a hot tin roof waiting for my parcel of precious goodies to arrive via the friendly neighbourhood postie. I particularly like those E-books that you get on-line….where you pay now (Paypal you are soooo awesome!!) and 10 minutes later – voila! Your book is sitting in your in-box awaiting your perusal! Love it!
Anyway…I’ve got a parcel from Mimi’s Gems coming from the good ol’ US of A! Sooooo can’t wait for it to arrive! Got a pile of swarovski and Tierracast stuff in it. I need to play!
Here’s my new slogan….
“What do I want? Whatever I want! When Do I want it? NOW!!”
Have a good one!
