patience is a virtue
wait, steph, you mean you didn't appreciate getting woken up at 9am?? i had no idea! ;) for the record, i had tons of fun shopping with steph, especially the 10 full minutes we spent at the meat cooler, deliberating whether to buy chicken on the bone because it was cheaper (of course we did, hello, it was cheaper!) and then deliberating how much bone we could handle. oy. hilarious.
so those who are at 614 will know this, but for our far-away readers (who are also far-OUT for checking our blog! yikes, i've picked up the awful art of punnery from our leadership development teacher:P): the technology here isn't exactly top-of-the-line. the internet connection is often hit-and-miss, computers are old, and most of the TVs, VCRs, computers and stereos lying around don't work. i suppose it's proof that at 614 we really do prioritize relationships over less important things, like fixing machinery. :) now, i'm no techno-nut, and i never thought bad technology would bring out my anger management issues, but i must confess that in the past couple of weeks dealing with the slow computers has pushed me close to my breaking point more than once. things that i think i could get done in x amount of time always take considerably longer because the connection is slower than what i've been used to from my university days. (interestingly enough, my university kept up to speed when it came to technology, but was not exactly a people-friendly institution....) as another example, today tim was helping me hook up a DVD player to a TV, but all the TV cables are nowhere to be found. needless to say all this has been patience-building, or at the very least, has shown me that the fruit of patience still needs to take root and grow in me.
now i have to drive to the supermarket for an errand. i'm usually a pretty contained driver and not given to road rage, but then again i haven't done too much downtown driving. we'll see how this goes :)
look fee, i'm blogging!
grace :)
