Everyone is waiting. I am waiting for several things-- though payday did happen-- Alphans are waiting, and it's a past-deadline wait, friends are waiting for jobs and stories, you are waiting, and I swear to something that if at least a third of these waits do not end with a resounding YES I will... be very disappointed, because if I have to worry and fret and get all the vicarious nerves, I want my people to get what they want.
My waiting is not even really the most frustrating. I mean, yes, one of them is a job. But that's normal.
I like bounded waiting because then, I know when to query. Open-ended waiting has all the worry of do-I-ask, but none of the assurance of it-has-been-a-week-since-they-said.
