Patience is a Virtue

Patience is a virtue and extremely necessary when you are a writer with a dial-up connection. My connection has been a bit touchy lately. I am not sure why, but it is frustrating when I am working online and am suddenly disconnected. All right, perhaps part of it is my own fault because I use tab browsing and the dial-up connection does not seem to like that.
Another thing that is frustrating is when I am reviewing on writing.com and suddenly get disconnected in the middle of a review. Fortunately, I can store the review (if I think about it) and go back to it after reconnecting. My problem is, I never think about storing the review until I am disconnected and then it is too late. I get so involved in the story or the poem I am reviewing, that I forget about anything else.
I have not been patient person lately. I am not sure of the reason. I used to be patient or I used to think I was patient, but my patience seems to be wearing thin or non-existent. I recently got back on my thyroid meds, I thought for a while that was the problem. However, I am back on my meds and I am still encountering the problem with patience.
Perhaps getting DSL or a cable modem would solve the problem. It would solve the problem of slow download and upload time. It would solve the disconnection problem, but I am not sure it would solve the patience problem. I think I am just going to have to work on my patience and find a way to be more patient with technology.
