2001:July:18


Today I was on the phone with a customer as part of this job I have. I was trying to help her set up some software that my company made. She was having a hard time wrapping her mind around some of the more ambitious concepts that I was laying on her. It took some doing but I feel like a finally brought her up to speed. Some forty five minutes later (this was a ten minute job tops, folks) she asked me how long I had been doing what I was doing. "Oh, for about a year," I said. To which she replied, "You just seem very patient." I told her it was nothing really, I mean such things are a virtue. What she didn't know was that the whole time I was walking her through this stuff I was flipping off my computer screen and thinking about what I wanted to eat for lunch. I'm really not an angry person as a rule, but I'm not all that patient either. I had a hamburger for lunch, I felt like treating myself.
