I Feel Like I'm 40

After reading Ryan Murdoch's article "Reflections on Turning 40", I feel like I'm 40. :)


"I have less tolerance for people who waste my time. For bad service. For things that break or don’t perform as they’re supposed to. I’m much less willing to put up with things, out of politeness or anything else. At the same time, I have a deeper appreciation for good service—because I know from experience what it takes to achieve it. I have tremendous respect for someone who’s skilled at their job. And I appreciate things that are well made and well designed."


But because I'm still far from 40, should I blame my impatience (for these things) for something else?

The problem is that while all men are born equal, they are not all born equally interesting; so the confessional mode does not suit everyone. - Theodore Dalrymple
