"Hang on guys, this is the door to the food. Wait for it....."

I think we spend a disconcertingly-large chunk of our lives waiting. For those of us who aren't penguins, entirely too much precious time is spent waiting in lines at the post office, the bank, the grocery store, etc. I can already tabulate that in the last three days, I've spent almost FIVE HOURS waiting. Granted, that still left me with 67 other hours to waste at my own discretion, but I digress...

Due to some egregious error on Daimler-Chrysler's part, I spent the better part of my morning today (read: three-and-a-half hours) at a car dealership waiting on my precious Liberty in a hideously uncomfortable chair reading Dr. Phil's wife's book and annoying the other patrons with my constantly-ringing cell phone. Two days ago, I marveled at the fact that I spent 45 minutes in line at the post office with the people that time forgot, and my transaction lasted all of 85 seconds. I think the US Post Office is now the Bermuda Triangle. If you go in with the innocent intent of the presumably simple act of mailing a letter, you may never surface again.

(PS: I actually took the picture above...couldn't resist the irony I knew it would one day be good for....)
