A mid-life crisis is an emotional state of doubt and anxiety in which a person becomes uncomfortable with the realization that life is halfway over. It commonly involves reflection on what the individual has done with his life up to that point, often with feelings that not enough was accomplished. The individual may feel boredom with their lives, jobs, or their partners, and may feel a strong desire to make changes in these areas. ...
Is this what is happening to me? I am so short of patience these days. Not with everybody, but with certain people who normally require a lot of patience, I don’t have it.
As an example, I went to chorus rehearsal last night. We have a show this Thursday, so equipment had to be loaded into the riser trailer. Announcements were made twice for volunteers. When it came time to do the work, very few people showed up. Normally, I would have just rolled up my sleeves and done the work myself. Not last night. I announced that if somebody else does not help with the work, it wasn’t going to happen and we could stand on the floor for the performance. I got the help, but looked like a prick. I guess they will be wanting their award back soon.
I have no patience for my sister either. She called me three weeks ago to borrow money to fix the muffler on her car. Apparently the low life good for nothing shit sucking lazy assed too smart to work in a factory so he will work as a prep cook at Subway genius that she swears she sleeps in a different room from, was told by whatever temp agency he is working for, that they accidentally shorted his check again ( for the 49th time). She told me that she needed $60. I gave it to her, even though I didn’t have it to give. I made her promise that she would pay me back. I knew I would get that money just like the literally thousands of other dollars that I have “loaned” her back when she got her next paycheck. Yeah right.
I go up to visit my Dad last week, who had been in the hospital for pneumonia along with a bunch of other problems, and he is so upset he is ready to cry. My wonderful sister had just been to see him. She had to have a girlfriend drive her to the hospital because the muffler on her car was broken. The same muffler that I just paid to have fixed. WTF? If it were not for the fact that my poor Dad is holding on to some hope that she has not completely degenerated into redneck trailer trash, I would have burnt the last bridge that night.
I have no patience for it any more.

I used to get this way when I worked in Animal ER. When there was someone around who would do the job, the others slacked knowing it would get done. I also lost patience with this because I was the one doing the job!! Like you, I got to a point where I had to let it slip, which is so unlike me. But, I certainly was not there to do everyone else's jobs too. I think you did the right thing, whether they liked it or not.

Boy, can I relate to the lack of patience with people. I don't have enough time in my life anymore to put up with others' laziness, inefficiency, and general idiocy.

I think it's the times we are living in. My patience runs short more often than not. I feel like others aren't doing their part, or aren't being responsible human beings, or treating others the way they want to be treated.....and I am the one that gets the medication!
