What’s Your Hurry?
Why are we always in a hurry? We get up in the morning( some early some late) and hurry to get ready for work even if it means falling over the big shoes and drinking instant breakfast on the road.

Of course, every one on the highway is in a hurry. Why are they in such a hurry to get to work? They must like working a whole lot better than I do. But I have to hurry even if I don't want to go to work, to avoid getting rear-ended or dirty looks at me to get out of the way. I'm already going fast enough! Speed is often accidents happen. But we speed, risk traffic tickets, accidents, and injury just because we are in a hurry. it really doesn't make sense does it? And where are all these people going? They all can't be going to work...?

At work, we hurry though the day. No matter how much we have to do there is never enough time. I always would like to add an extra hour to my day...but i would end up with more to do. We hurry through our "to do" list to get to the next task, and then hurry through it as well. Work related stress increases chance of stroke, and heart attack, but we don't have time to worry about that as we are in a hurry.

Maybe we are in a hurry to get to lunch. For those who have a noraml career where you get a lunch time. And those those of us who spend all day feeding everyone else forget to feed ourselves! We didn't eat much breakfast because we didn't have time. So were hungary and in a hurry, not a good combo.

The same people that are in a hurry to get to work in the morning are also in a hurry to get back home at night. And we thought they liked work. But it seems they love being in a hurry. Traffic is a nightmare with everyone rushing to get home. What do they have to do at home... Probably nothing. It's like those that leave church early...for what ??? I just don't get it.

We usually don't want to take time to cook dinner. By the time i get home it's to late...so a bowl of cereal is just great. If we cook, it is most likely some of the convenience foods that are at least partly prepared in advance, or come out of a box. These are better because we can fix them fast and get the food ready in a hurry. We can no longer imagine life without a microwave to fix food in a hurry.
What if we are in too big of a hurry to cook and decide to eat out? If the wait is too long, we look for another place. If the food doesn't arrive quickly many mumble and complain because it is taking too long. Good service has come to be just as important as good food, and good service means timely service for busy people in a hurry. What a shame, people think it should be like the Mc Burger Hut.

We live life in the fast lane, always in a hurry. We use email and send instant messages. We don’t have time to answer the phone so we let the voice mail get it. We have rush hours, express mail, jiffy lubs, instant rebates, and overnight delivery. Why? Because we are in a hurry! We live in a fast age, information flies, and so do we. In spite of all the time we save, we never seem to have enough. Sometimes it makes my head spin while i try to keep up.
And that’s why I’m going to quit now. I'm in a hurry. And you ask where I'm off to.. To bed of course....

That's my little rant for the day ....I apoligize if I made your head spin, toooo.
