My husband, who is a restaurant manager, says that people have the patience of a gnat. He says it's getting worse. Say a dinner comes off the line wrong, and the dinner has to be redone. Well, customers expect instantaneous results, like they would get in their own kitchen with a microwave. I think his examples are indicative of the impatience we (the collective we) are developing due to technology. Instant chats, instant info...instant results. Dianne, I just noticed your new signature line about women who behave. It makes me think of the movie Iron Jawed Angels about the womens' suffrage movement. Those women did not behave, and we got the right to vote. LLL
