        @neiltyson @deBeauxOs1 Cashier: "I'm so sorry." Me: "I have all the time in the world." No such thing as time wasted. It's all just life.

        @MJGlass2 @neiltyson Wasted time only if spent fearful or angry. If one is working out a problem or interacting w folks present, productive.

        @komiska @neiltyson @Codecademy Yes, my thoughts exactly! You can get a lot of reading done while waiting in line.

        @rajkashana @neiltyson @Codecademy seems "waiting in line" became a synonym for"short private break where one really has time for oneself";D
