Impatient

I've learned in the past week that I'm incredibly impatient. I used to think that I had a lovely go with the flow attitude. But nope, that's definitely been disproven. I'm in a position at work right now where I'm being forced to wait for slow-pokes, I mean colleagues, to finish their work so I can begin mine. And it turns out, others that I work with seem to play fast and loose with the concept of a deadline.

Do you know how frustrating this is? The longer I wait, the more annoyed I get. I've even spoken up - something I never do - and refused to allow one particular person (who has had an extra 3 weeks to do his work and is still not done) any extra time. I'm pretty sure he was a bit shocked, because this was not the Kristen he was accustomed to.

But I really don't think I'm being unreasonable, do you? Deadlines exist for a reason. And when that deadline coincides with me leaving on vacation with a clean desk, I'm darn well going to meet that deadline. Even if I need to get snippy...
