I couldn’t stand it any longer. I wanted to finish Failing Forward and Amazon wasn’t going to ship it to me ’till mid next week (the drawback of their free shipping) and then it would take 3-5 days beyond that. Grrr! I have a nice, quiet 4-day weekend starting tomorrow and I really want to just sit and soak up a good book.

So I ran down to Borders on my lunch break and picked up a copy. It cost me $6 more than it would’ve from Amazon, but I figure it’s worth it not to have to wait (I also bought "Developing the Leader Within You", just in case I devour the rest of FF before the weekend is over).

I tend to hit a point where I just don’t have patience anymore. I’ve thought and considered and turned the idea around in my head so many times I know every nuance and facet of it. So once I’ve made the decision to go for "it" (whatever it may be), I want to move now. That doesn’t always serve me well in life, since much of life with others is waiting on them to get their crap together. But, then again, many of them have had to wait on me to make up my mind and get my crap together, so I guess in the end it all comes out even…

However, my impatience does serve me well at other times. Like today. Now I’m set for the weekend….

….And the president just stuck his head in my doorway and told me to go home now. WooHoo! No need to tell me twice. Ah, the weekend finally begins…
