Increasingly Impatient

Over the past few years, I have encountered an increasing number of people who seem to have no patience. The example that repeats itself almost every week is as follows.

I may be momentarily away from my telephone at work or on the line. Thus the caller will leave a voicemail. My day may be include an appointment or two or I may have other assignments that must be completed. Therefore, I may not be able to return the call for several hours.

But these people cannot wait for more than 2 hours. They will call again and leave another voicemail. Sometimes 3 messages in a day! What is wrong with them? I will tell you.

They operate from a point of self-centeredness. What they need and when they need it are their only perspective. They no longer contemplate that other people have busy lives also. They think their request should be everyone's priority. These same people are often tardy to appointments, which is a display of disrespect.

Cell Phone Disgraces: Part II

Ben Stein wrote an excellent New York Times article related to my previous posted subject. Some highlights from Mr. Stein's article:

• The cellphone and the PDA has basically replaced thought.
• ...loss and solitude and dignity.
• They are slaves to connectedness. Their work has become their indentured servitude.
• have we irrevocably become machines ourselves?
