For me it working beyond your normal work hours. I'm not talking about extra pay hours, we have to make ends meet sometimes, but working beyond what is required. Life is too short and it took me too long to realize that work should not be all consuming.

What do you lack patience for as you get older? Family drama? Politics? Lousy friends?

Yeah, I'm maxed out 40 hours of work per week. Too tired to work more and value my free time.

I can't stand co-worker drama and gossip. Office workers get mad over the dumbest shit. I bought Bose noise cancelling headphones last year. Best investment ever. I hear people talking, I put them; quiet bliss.


I can't stand story driven games much anymore either. I skip most cutscenes, even on a first playthrough.

Slight headaches.  I used to only take pills for hevy headaches, but these days I don't know why I should bother with it and just take some paracetamol.

I am pretty patient with everything despite not having any time for living.  Negativity I guess. If someone is negative I basically become very straightforward and agressive.  I've said things like, "Okay, well what if we took that energy and applied it to coming up with a positive solution". It works really well, they other party is embarassed or shamed or whatever and then even moth later acts more positively around me.
