Some of the waiting is over!

Well, I finally got the debit card terminal!  However, I should have expected in advance, that it wouldn't work when first switched on!  Two phonecalls to Customer Care, a clean of the SIM card and a bit of swearing later, it works!  Oh and thank you to the terminal company employee who put the paper roll in backwards!  It doesn't take much to confuse me at times.  Now wouldn't it have been lovely to have had the opportunity to use the darn thing today!  Yes, I will remind myself, again, that a business takes a while to become established!  So, with the wait for the terminal terminated, my mind wanders to the other things I'm waiting for.  Letters, letters, solicitors, good fortune, a salary that I can live from, the end of 2010 and more letters.  I will not bore you with the details, but I will just say, "Why does everything have to take so long?"
