Rather correct. I want everything done yesterday. And the less I'm able to do
something correctly and swiftly the more I itch to get it done quicker. Not
the right attitude. Sofar some buckets (alas with water in 'm) a screwdrivers,
a pot of nails and a lot of other smaller stuff that didn't comply instantly
according to my wishes already learned how to fly. Luckily no accidents yet. I
know, temper temper and I should know better. I'm working on it. But with the
impatience to get things done also my temper becomes more of an issue. It's so
very frustrating. Another good fortune in light of my temper is that Jeroen's
puter is just too heavy to lift.... ;o)

I found a compromise to that. I get someone from the shop to lift the things.
On the parking lot I look for an unsuspecting victim to lift them into the
car. Sofar this works very well. Just takes a bit more time to get it done.
But my back thanks me for it.

Isn't that what shop employees are for. At least sofar I've managed to get the
help I think I should have. So I don't reach and I don't lift during shopping.
And I get Jeroen to unpack the heavy things from the car for me. (See I'm
improving) Shops where this kind of service (when necessary) isn't provided
instantanously I simply don't go or leave the product on the shelve and get it
somewhere else. Simple as that. One of our local supermarkets even offers the
service to pack and transport your shoppings to and into your car. I think I
might start to use that offer soon. And since the service is calculated into
the prices anyway, I might as well use it. :o)
