The Waiting Game...

always that bad. Just sometimes. She gets into one of those moods, where she thinks that I've dissed her and wants to put me in my place. My next door neighbor is another one that makes me wait; I don't have to do anything to make him upset, it's just his way. I've gotten a bit more control lately. He usually comes to the window of my bedroom and knocks on it or I'll see him coming and open the window. [The reason for this, is that I keep his money and credit cards over here, as he's been robbed a couple of times.] But most times he will call and say that he'll be right over and I am trapped sitting here waiting for him to show. Now, I wait about ten minutes and if he doesn't show, I go do whatever. I go to the bathroom, make a sandwich for lunch, get a cup of tea or coffee etc. I most usually hear him at the window, but if I'm in the middle of doing something, I make him wait. He'll go home and call me, saying I came over, but you weren't there. I tell him; "Yeah, but I got tired of waiting and went to make lunch or... The last time, he called and said he was coming over, he was there in a couple of minutes! Thanks for your read and comment! ~ Geez.

Some people don't mean it as a thing to punish you or make themselves important, they just figure that you are always there and always will be. As I've said to Cat. I've started taking back control. I make them wait for me now, after I wait a reasonable length of time, if they don't show, I just go do whatever I want to do and let them wait for me. Nice to feel like I am in control now! Thanks for the read and comment. ~ Geez.

when you get to be an adult! You just have to wait for different people. Some people don't think about making you wait, because you are always there. They don't figure they have to be on time or hurry, because you will still be there when they finally get there. Never realizing that maybe you have something else you should be or could be doing. I have sat waiting for my neighbor, when he says "I'll be over in a little bit"; sitting there having to go to the bathroom or wanting to make a cup of coffee, etc. Sometimes, someone will say that they want to do something, but when I say when? They say; "When I am done with what I am doing, I'll let you know." How about me? I might want to sit and write or play a game or watch a T.V. program, but now, half way through the program or whatever I am doing, they expect me to drop whatever I'm doing and do whatever they want. [ That's where the lines: They say that I am obstinate, lazy and don't want to work, come in. Thanks for the read and comments, and you do understand. ~ Geez.
