waiting

Today was a day of waiting for me. I waited for the driver to pick me from the hotel. He never came. I waited for a taxi. I waited in the US Embassy to get some additional pages in my passport. The security machine broke - I waited for over two hours! The taxi waited. I waited for the irate taxi driver to calm down and bring me to the office. I waited for a meeting that got postponed three times today only to find the person I was waiting for was not prepared and we had to cancel the meeting. I waited while being told how upset my boss was that HE was waiting as well. I waited for my computer to reboot SIX times. I waited for an important phone call. I waited for my lunch to thaw. :-( I waited for the internet to come back to the city. I waited for answers on my HR questions. I waited for my colleagues to understand what I was trying to say. I waited for money from the finance office. None came. I waited for a ride home. I waited for the hotel manager to settle my account. I waited for my dinner. And now I can not wait any longer – I am done waiting for today. Tomorrow will be a new day. Saturday. I hope it comes with a new dose of smiles while I wait. :-)
