instant gratification

Right, so i just got back from the gym.
Exercise hurts.
I think I have that girl thing where we demand instant gratification. You know the one, you get back from one session at the gym and go straight to the mirror, expecting a suddenly flat stomach and toned muscles. When these assets do not appear after an hour at the gym we deem it impossible to do and give up....or maybe that's just me.

This need for instant gratification isn't just at the gym, it's everywhere. For one thing, it's the sole reason that I can't shop on the internet. I see it, i love it, i buy it. And then i dont get it for 3-5 working days. As most women will be aware it can be considered cruel and unusal punishment to have to wait for a new dress. I need it now dammit!!

Come to think of it, it's also why I don't use our coffee machine. A few months ago we bought one of those fancy coffee machines, don't get me wrong...makes great coffee. But the thing is that by the time I've decided I want a coffee I want it now, I don't want to grind beans, steam milk and what ever else I have to do. By the end of that process I'm so over it.

I know that everyone says that our society demands instant gratification, so i know it's not just me. But why is it always said like it's a bad thing? The need for it puts more emphasis on efficiency and speed, as well as quality control. What more can you want? So I vote, no more talking as if this new revolution on instantly gratifying texts, coffees and surgery's like they are a bad thing. I think we should embrace this revolution, if nothing else it will just lead to a society of people who are satisfied quicker (not in that way)....or it could lead to a society of impatience. We'll see. Actually no, i want to know now.
