I should've read the fine print

[stonebender]

Some of the stuff I didn't sign up for when I was born disabled.

* Sometimes I just want things done my way. I don't care if it makes sense. I don't care if there's a better way. If I could do it myself I'd just do it and save the argument.

* As I age, I seem to be losing my patience. I thought I'd get more patient as I got older.

* There is just not enough room! When I need my mouth stick I want to be able to reach it. When I don't need it. I want it to disappear. Too many things are out of my reach or in my way! Especially when they are the same damn things!

Yes, these are minor matters in a pretty excellent life and I should concentrate on the good stuff. I am not always good at doing the things that would be good for me.

PS This particular post was written three days ago. I thought I lost it to the bit bucket, but when I went to post to LJ the program asked me whether I wanted to recover my text from a previous post and there it was! I'm nowhere near as frustrated as I was when I wrote it, but I thought I'd keep it.

if this is all you're complaining about, you're not bad. most people i know whine a lot more. :)

yeah, same here. i am more patient about some things, more understanding of people's genuine differences has brought greater patience. but i am MUCH less patient with assholery, stupidity, and especially willful ignorance. oh, and politics. i have no patience for it at all anymore.

Thanks, I am trying to restrain myself :-)

Yes that and I would probably add that I have less patience for my personal assholery and stupidity. (I'd like to think I'm not willfully ignorant :-)

I share your and pleonastic's experience about age and patience. I find it quite fascinating, what I am more and less patient about. Some of it I'm happy with and some I'm not so happy.

I also can relate to the "not enough room" thing, although it's not a disability issue for me, it's just that I like to settle down somewhere and have a bunch of things within reach, and then along come the cats wanting a walking path through all those things.
