I just called my husband at work, and I was on hold waiting for him to get to the phone a LONG time. After about 5 minutes, just when I was about to hang up, my phone beeped, alerting me to a new text message. It was from my husband and read:

“In the potty.”

Isn’t technology grand? I hung up the call and quickly texted back a reply that read, “Call me when you’re done”, and he did. Before the texting age, I would have grown irritated with my time on hold and assumed he was just being slow in getting to the phone. Thanks to technology, I can know exactly what the delay is and save my attitude for another occasion.
