Working in the Philippines, I am used to being inconvenienced and having to wait a long time for things to move. Then he went off looking for a manager. She smiled at me, and then I saw the manager fooling around with a mannequin and I went over to him. I told him that speaking down to a teenager working a summer job like that illuminated his lack of skills, not her incompetence. Maybe that frustration is something knocking at us, asking us to take a look at how our life is going.
