    I wouldn't say that it is a "great opportunity", but, I used to always
be in a hurry, and found all that ever happened is "Murphy" made my life
miserable. Now I am more often prepared, though bureaucracy still irritates
me, to do something else when a) traffic jams, b) lines in stores are long,
etc. I find having an alternative handily available seems not only to
readuce Murhpy's impact, but also reduces my irritation and stress. Rather
than getting more upset about something, and losing time, I get more done
by rolling smoothly along to whatever else is available.
