Today's rainy sky made for nice photographs on the river Elbe. With a not that inspired poem I salute the month of August good-bye!

Huge anxiety as I wait for a meeting in 20 minutes that could change a lot for me professionally. Calm and happy thoughts appreciated. #waiting #professional

I’ve been away enjoying the beach and my #Debian box now needs lots of update… #waiting

Night time gathering on the three arch bridge, Ballydehob.

Any guesses what they’re waiting for?

I’ll post answer below later today.

At the doctor's office. They asked me for my birthday AND how old I am. That is so rude. They could figure that out with my birthdate. The computer probably automatically does that. There was no need to make me figure out how old I am. It was shocking. I am 7yrs older than I thought- and that was already too old for me to begin with!

Not cool. 😟

A quotation from Austen, Jane:

«
Why did we wait for any thing? — why not seize the pleasure at once? — How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!

It's times when transferring the bulk of your data from iCloud to OneDrive that you wish for a much faster internet connection, sadly a 50Mbps connection just ain't all that ⏱ #waiting

BAT ordered a book on theater design, Theatre Spaces 1920-2020, Finding the Fun in Functionalism by Iain Mackintosh. You know what that means. Every ten minutes, I'll be checking the "track package" link to see if the book is any closer. (Sigh.) Why do we do this to ourselves?

Waiting waiting waiting for the delayed Spirit of Queensland train here at Brisbane Roma Street.

[sigh] There have been a lot of delayed trains this year. On my Europe trip I think the latter 13 of the 20 long-distance trains I caught were running late.

I always turn up too early to the station, so that adds up to a lots of wasted time sitting on cold platforms.

You know what we’ve never had in the arc of history from the Dot Com Boom and Pets dot com, to the mobile web and “there’s an app for that”, to Web 3.0 and crypto and the metaverse and AI chatbots telling you everything?

We’ve never had a “waiting room” app or website. It could sign up doctors’ surgeries and dentists and hospitals, and over the last 25 years it would’ve informed you of the BARE MINIMUM of information “you have X mins remaining / are required to return to the waiting room / have progressed to X in the queue”

In 1998 that would have been via dial-in automated voice. In 2003 it would have sent you an SMS. In 2008 it would have been with an app on your smartphone. In 2013 it would have been with a really good app — giving walking directions, ETA on demand, and notifying each other of location. In 2018 it would have been with an optional watch app so you don’t miss your appointment and can work in an office while “waiting for a doctor”. #waiting #waitingroom #waitingpatiently

It’s 2023.

Pues no puedo seguir con una cosa del trabajo porque no me han compartido lo que necesito y, claro, aquí estamos, #waiting :yui_shrug:
