It's the waiting that will kill ya

For some reason, waiting for a reply to an e-mail has always been one of the hardest things for me to do. I, selfishly enough, want instantaneous answers to any communication done over the internet. Ok, so maybe instant isn't exactly what I want, but I don't like to wait for more than 24 hours. Personally, I usually answer e-mail in more of a 48 hour window, but there are times when I take longer. Such as, it is now Sunday, and there is a poor little e-mail from an out of town friend that has been sitting there since Thursday. How mean of me.
What brings this little rant on, is that I sent 3 e-mails on Wednesday evening. I got one answer. I have checked my e-mail something like 3 times more than average since then. I have seriously considered canceling one group listing that I am subscribed to, simply because of the false hope that seeing "New E-mail" on my home page brings. "New E-mail" can be such a pleasant thing to see, but when you realized that it's just a large note of various people discussing Lord of the Rings, you get a little disappointed. At least, I do.
I keep telling myself in my head, that as soon as I stop anticipating the reply, it will come. (It really works that way with one person that I e-mailed, I don't know how he does it, really, it's always just the day that I give up on him replying that I see a note from him sitting in my inbox) But of course, I can't stop expecting that reply.
You want to know how bad it is? I checked my e-mail at the library! It's not like I don't have internet access at home. But I purposefully walked up to that express e-mail station and checked my mail, in public!
I need a hobby...

Till next I write!
