Waiting.... waiting.....WAITING....wAiTiNg...

Waiting is something that we can't really avoid. We like to think we can avoid it with online shopping, online banking, online everything really. We send other people do the things we need to do that require waiting... I think we'll do anything that to avoid waiting, but sometimes you just can't escape waiting.

I spend a lot of time waiting in general. I wait for the bus every day, which isn't too bad since I generally have a pretty view in Camps Bay so it makes it bearable. Waiting for the bus isn't really looooooong boring waiting, since it's never long than 20 minutes. The long boring waiting happens when you have to wait for an airplane, go to the bank - you know those times when you actually have to go in the bank with an inquiry. Then there's the kind of waiting when you go to home affairs or any other government building. I think they take the cake in making you wait.

When you get to Home Affairs you queue outside the office for a bit until you get a number, then you go into a massive room to wait for hours on end with a number. Then after hours and hours you get into the office to wait to pay, then you go and wait for photos and the application process. It's a given fact that you can not come here to apply for anything or collect anything WITHOUT hours of waiting.

Even though we try to avoid waiting for something like the plague, it still manages to find us and force us to wait because everything can't be done online.... even though we wish we could.
