Do Something!

I am still waiting to hear from HR regarding the position I interviewed for. They still have to do another interview (scheduled for next week)and will let me know sometime next week if I passed the audition.

It reminds me of a scene from a movie...the name of which I have forgotten, where a bunch of guys are waiting around for the conditions to be just right so they can pull off a heist. Finally, frustrated with waiting around, one of the guys says, 'why don't we do something?' To which De Niro replies, 'We are doing something, we're waiting!'

I have always thought that this was good advice. Sometimes there is nothing to be done but to wait and getting yourself all worked up about the waiting doesn't usually help things move faster. Whenever I am forced to be in wait mode, I accept the waiting and think about what I could be doing in the meantime. Sometimes something as simple as focusing on the present moment. Look at the trees, people watch, make a list of things that have been on your brain, think of something in your life that gives you happiness, read, eat, close your eyes and rest. Time will pass soon enough and when it does, you won't have unnecessarily stressed yourself out about it.
