Mama said there would be days like this.....

Patience is a virtue and I have neither! I am sitting here at work restless. Everything is done on my end..now here I sit and wait.

I feel like I am in a constant holding pattern. I am always waiting on something and or someone.
Words I am really starting to dislike are, 'hold on a minute' or 'wait' or 'give me a second'.Which won't be so bad, but it's not just a minute it's waiting for hours and sometimes days. Quite frankly these words have a dismissal tone to them. When you ask someone if they could please help you or do something for you and they respond with 'hold on a minute', walk away. Do it yourself.

However, you can't always do things yourself and you are forced to wait on someone else.
So then what? How do you tame that restless feeling that burning deep inside your chest? (NO, it's not Heartburn) How do you find the calm place inside and realize not everyone else runs on your schedule?

Here is what I have tried so far....
Deep breaths, which resulted with me sounding like I am huffing and puffing... Not good in a work environment, I started getting looks from my co-workers and boss.

Visualization, I am trying to picture myself somewhere tropical, sea side the smell of salt in the air, which resulted in my closing my eyes for a few minutes and the last thing I need is to look like I'm falling a sleep on my job.


If I wasn't tied to this desk I would go outside for a walk.... but it's just one of those days..
