Today, most people are time short. Yet we all waste time.

We waste time standing in queues, waiting because of traffic congestion, waiting for appointments, waiting for trains, buses, Trams, waiting, waiting, waiting. Yet most of us simply accept it as a fact of life today.

It is a fact of life but it doesn't mean we can't be doing something else at the same time. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty darn sick of reading old "Women's Weeklies", out -of-date "Time Magazines" or "New Ideas" which certainly don't give me any new ideas. As for "Readers Digest" it may not age like the rest but it still doesn't make the waiting any more digestible.

If the Dentist, Doctor or candle stick maker, insist on keeping me waiting at least they should be supplying me with up-to-date reading material. But I guess it could be argued that they don't have to supply me with any material at all to read. But I would answer in which case they shouldn't be keeping me waiting either.

But the sad fact is they do keep me waiting.

But I have learnt how to use my time in my own way. I now choose what I 'read' on my MP3 player and carry it with me all the time. I listen to my chosen book in the car while stopped at traffic snarls; I listen to it while waiting to see the Dentist, the Doctor or while queued up to pay my Electricity bill.

Imagine how grateful I am for electricity. I use this resource to run my computer so I can download my audio book to keep myself entertained or learning while having to queue up to pay for the service that provides all this entertainment.

This is the conundrum people living in a first world country face daily. Queer, isn't it$%:
