Wait, wait...........and wait some more

I like to do things quickly and efficiently - apparently I moved to the wrong country for that sort of thing. Even the simple, everyday tasks take 10 times longer than they should. For example, if you get thirsty you must: fill a pot of water, wait for it to boil, take it off the stove, let it cool for about an hour, then once it is semi cool, put it in the fridge for about 6 more hours to give it time to finish cooling off. Finally you may get yourself a drink of water. If this seems tough, try doing laundry, preparing food, using the public transportation - the need to multitask has taken on a whole new meaning! You can waste hours sitting around trying to accomplish one, simple, mindless task.
