This page only held an image with the poem for quite some time, because I am normally not that impatient. But today I have a severe case of impatience, all because of two events: on the one hand there is the upcoming vacation with my long term long distance relationship, and also the 3D printer I ordered online, which was delayed by the transport company.
Now the first impatience is more like anticipation, because I've arranged all of it in detail, and have control over it barring any unsuspected events screwing it up. The second one though is out of my control: I ordered it and the promised delivery dat was February 5th at the latest, and then the transport company showed it arrived at their warehouse on February 4th. After that, the estimated delivery date went to February 9th, but currently it is already the 14th!
Now I could regain control by canceling the order and leaving the online store with the problem of retrieving the package from the discoverer, but the correct way they deal with the problem made me decide against that. Also, the printer was twenty percent off, so if I canceled and got it elsewhere, it would cost a lot more...
