Snooze: 1) A period of time equal to nine minutes; 2) adj; that glorious interval when you hit the snooze button, doze back to sleep, fall into a full-flegded dream complete with rich, forgettable details and awaken in a state of panic because you now have exactly 2 minutes to be at work 3) verb; missing out on something because you waited too late to act on it i.e "ya snooze, ya lose" I have a doc appt. And its hurry up and wait. Rushing through traffic, watching the ticks dwindle down into 'late fee' zone on the clock inside my car (I have not worn a wristwatch in years), it amazes me how the precious commodity of time has gotten so costly. So much so, it surpasses inflation. Whoever said patience is a virtue must been the same person that said 'time is money' I'm slow down. Let the other drivers work themselves into stroke-like hysterics. I'll get there when I get there. Why give the doc something else to charge me for?
