More Evidence That Patience Is Not My Greatest Virtue

Wednesday, January 31, 2007

As everyone knows, I like instant satisfaction. As easy-going and carefree as I may seem to be, I definitely like my routine especially when it comes to my computer stuff. So needless to say when I received an email from Flickr saying that old skool members need to merge their accounts with their yahoo accounts, I wasn't very happy. For me, it's just another bloody online thing that I need to remember my username and password for.

K: Did you get this stupid email from Flickr?
S: Yes, I already merged my account.
K: That's so annoying. Now I have to get some new account?
S: I am sure you already have an account.

Impatiently types "yahoo.com" and waits. For 2 minutes.

K: What the hell? What's taking so long?! I'm cancelling my stupid f*@$%ing flickr account!!

Stefan sensing a brewing tantrum is about to take place comes over and tries to soothe me by hugging me and then mocking me.

S: (in his "Karen" voice) Stupid Flickr! Stupid Yahoo! I am cancelling my flickr! I am cancelling my blog! Screw this! (in his own voice) Who's impatient?

K: Well....

Fortunately making me laugh always gets me out of a funk. More tapping on keys and this realization....

K: I already have a stupid yahoo account.

Stefan starts laughing and sulking ensues on my end....
