What Are You Waiting For?

It was the kind of day when had my "to do" list been an actual foe to be fought against with sword and shield, it would have been a blood bath.  I had slain all my dragons both big and small and was feeling pretty good about it.  Drawing my sword for one last little fire-breather on the day's list, I was happy to be nearly done with everything I'd set out to accomplish that day and to be on my way home.  One final turn into the post office and victory would be mine.  The work week would be over. As I sat at the stop sign, I got a bit irritated.  Perhaps the world didn't know what a hurry I was in.  My mom and sister were waiting on me for an evening out and did I mention, it was the end of the work week.  I had a weekend to begin!  There I sat at a familiar, well-frequented stop sign getting more and more frustrated with the fact that it hadn't yet changed and let me go on with my weekend. And then I realized, stop signs don't change.  Stop lights do.
