Trying My Patience

Things that make my patience wear thin

About

I'm not overly cynical or critical. The surrounding world just repeatedly fails to meet my standards and expectations.

Please don’t print this e-mail unless you really need to! - You are trying my patience.

The statement at the end of e-mails Consider the environment before printing this e-mail has is now being rephrased as Please don’t print this e-mail unless you really need to! (Like I need another exclamation mark in my life…)

Well, exactly how do you define really need to?

If I don’t really need it, I won’t really print it.

One thing I will not do is engage in the internal debate of my personal and professional short and long-term needs of printing this e-mail versus any and all real  and potential negative consequences of doing so.

And if I really really need it? Rest assured, I will really really print it!
