Waiting!

[wyldepixie]

Ugh, the worst feeling. I've never used an iop before and the waiting is so awful and I don't even know why!!!! I have nothing coming I couldn't easily live without. Still, day after day I feel my nerves stretching tighter. (Maybe the b3nz0s should've been the first order). It's peculiar. Maybe I should use SY vendors just so I only have a few days for my crazy to kick into high gear.

Anyway, that's my totally random post.

I used to feel the same way -- for me it got easier over time. Hang in there sweetie!

Waiting is the worst! I also obsessively check the tracking info, even on regular amazon.com orders lol

 

[Phrenicz]

Yeah, waiting is rubbish :-(... I hate any aspect of waiting: queues of any type! waiting for certain people I know to shut up! Waiting for friends who are always late! Waiting for my girlfriend to get ready! Waiting for other drivers to get out of my way! Waiting at airports! Waiting for trains! Waiting for Christmas to fuck off! Even waiting for my tea to cook there are many others, but I think you get the idea...

However, nothing beats the 2 worst waits in history:

1: The 2-3 weeks after you get flashed by a speed camera

2: Pharmaceuticals through the post!!!

Oh and I'm still waiting for the day that my Panic DIsorder & OCD, doesn't fuck up for me...

Keep calm WP, if it's a trusted iop from the DBG threads, I'm sure all will be good

~P~

I only dislike waiting for my order because once it arrives waiting for everything else becomes so much Easier!

Then after about a week I begin stressing over the next order even though I have plenty left. I think it's becoming an obsession for me which is also why I'm on this forum all the time!

I know exactly what you mean

When I started this iop malarkey many years ago, I was making teeny tiny orders here and there from lots of different vendors, my house became like a post office! I kept having to come home from work to sign for parcels!!

Plus, I spent the entire week worrying whether X, Y or Z was gonna come through this time!!!

Horrible times!!! Only after a year or so of this 'postal & mental chaos', did I realise this was actually making what I was trying to treat, much, much worse!?

So, now, I just take the plunge and order big, so I only have to deal with one high pressure waiting situation once a month or so!

Hehehe

Glad I'm not the only one. Though the big one off order would be nice I don't even know what I want yet. I have scripts and local sources for my usual suspects. Though that second one causes me untold anxiety too. My source moved about an hour and a half away. By the time I've made that drive I'm so tense that all my muscles hurt and my jaw from having clenched my teeth together for 90 minutes.

I can't order my favorite in quantity or I'll constantly be tempted to break my rules. So once a month I buy a single weeks supply. When I have vitamins left over for whatever reason I wanna eat em!

I got some from a script when my migraines got bad last month and I had to make my boyfriend hold them and only dole them out for migraines. He stuck the bottle in his tarantula's cage when he went to work in case I got a migraine. His reasoning was I'd get them if the pain got too bad. Of course I'd have to fall down thirty flights of stairs and get gang raped by a pack of elephant men at the bottom to be in enough pain to stick my hand in the tarantula cage. That hairy little minion of Satan knows it too! He crouches next to them waiting....waiting....

*shudder*

So yeah, kinda just in a sampling stage iop wise to see if I can find some stuff to help.

 

[Phrenicz]

Liking the tarantula cage idea and your 'vivid' description of how much pain you'd have to be in

Hopefully the 'elephant men' scenario never happens!!

I would actually be ok with the tarantula... I'd even give him a little stroke as I pulled 'em out....

However, if mine were placed in a tank full of cockroaches!? Fuck it! They could keep 'em!

 

[wyldepixie]

Unless the tank contained butterflies or lady bugs I'd probably just giive up.

 

[Phrenicz]

Aaaaaw, what about little fluffy ducklings? Or baby Owls?

 

[wyldepixie]

Okay. Sure, fuzzy baby mammals I could do. Just nothing in the creepy crawly family.

Although ducks are mean!

 

[Phrenicz]

Ha! Ducks are not mean!! Geese are though, they hiss and try swiping at you with their necks!! Bad Geese!!

 

[wyldepixie]

When I was nine a duck knocked me over and stole my muffin!

 

[Phrenicz]

Awwwww, that's so cute, mini WP getting knocked over by a duck

 

[wyldepixie]

It's important that I educate people about the dangers of ducks! What kind of evil species would steal a little girl's breakfast in a reckless smash and grab muffin caper?

 

[Phrenicz]

Still cute though, Mini WP vs Opportunistic Hungry Duck in reckless smash & grab muffin caper!...

Sadly I cannot envision any scenario where I would not stick my hand in there.

Piranha tank, deadly snake, I'd just grab the heavy duty gloves and go for it!

I'm in deep with this love affair.

 

[wyldepixie]

I've had a racoon steal a sandwich right out of my hand once too but I was not harmed in the process. It just grabbed it and gave me an apologetic look over it's shoulder as it ran away.
