I think I was one of those people once upon a time. Now I just look at people like that with puzzlement and a bit of judgmentalness, which I need to work on. People who are chronically late, always in a hurry, always distracted, on their Blackberries, picking up phone calls during a meal or a conversation. People who constantly lament, "I'm sooo busy" as if it were something inflicted upon them. People who talk on the phone the entire time during a two hour train ride.

I also don't have kids to take care of, or a spouse to deal with, so what do I know.
