Waiting for something - Impatience

I have put up some stuff for approval and I have been waiting for days now, this is wearing me out. All my work comes to a standstill because I cannot proceed further without knowing if the document I sent meets the mark or needs some changes to be made. No amount of follow up seems to work, people work at their own lazy pace and become an obstruction to others. My patience is wearing thin, I need to focus on other things to stop getting worked up. I usually turn to art or craft for that. I so I guess I will do that. How do you handle frustrations?

@DianneN I hope so too.. When you are in new terrain and things don't happen as they state it would, you don't even know if you are playing level field or not.

@andriaperry No these are documents for house renovation . Verily hasn't opened up registrations and yes, I have heard enough complaints from people there on another site. However, I heard that over the last few days they have been rapidly approving polls and such.

You sound as frustrated as me. I have been waiting for approval on 2 content articles and if a site wants to purchase an article I sent them and no reply. Now I will have to start off my week with working without knowing if my work is up to par

@RasmaSandra I have that drama happening at one site as well.. But I am okay with it for the time being. This is kind of more important and I am not sure if I need to take a legal approach, as in get an attorney to get this work done faster.

My mother always had a little rhyme about patience. it went: Patience is a virtue Possess it if you can Always in a woman Never in a man. Sometimes she would change the last line to 'Never in a teenager'. I was never very patient as a teenager.

@JudyEv I am patient sometimes more than I should be.. But somehow this is getting on my nerves.. I better repeat that rhyme your mom taught you.

Not point getting impatient..Though I know what you mean. When you put in effort you would want the other person to say something. You have a wonderful garden what better way than to spend time there. Or you can Mylot?

@responsiveme Hmmm.. No time for gardening too.. I have had to run around for all the documentation. I wish I could just spend more time there.. mornings are very cold and then its blazing hot.. The vagaries of weather. Mylot may have to take the back seat till I get stuff sorted out.

@allknowing Hmm It doesn't let me focus on other things sufficiently.. I end up doing nothing productive at the end of the day. I don't like that feeling.

If it's a matter of "formal documents", here they are very quick, in Italy I know that I have to wait because there is nothing I can do to speed up things.

@LadyDuck any work with the government takes years here.. I am hoping that I don't have to take the professional help here.. it will cost me loads of money.

@LadyDuck How I wish we had systems like those here.. Its so corrupt here and you need to be running around in circles to get a small thing done.. Nothing moves online too.

@sofssu It never takes long here in Switzerland and you know in advance how long it will take at every step. In Italy it is unpredictable.
