I remember when the likelihood of dropping by an H&M was part of the thrill of going on vacation out of the country. Matter of fact, I once had so much time to kill in London that when I tired of doing touristy things on my own, I ended up swinging by five branches.

The line at the counter is always long. The wait is uncomfortable. Sometimes the organizers for my events ignore my request and preference for a particular airline, and buy me one of those cheap-fare tickets because they want to save money. I don’t complain to them since they’re my clients; I just complain silently. Have you ever been restrained to complaining silently? It’s not a very good feeling, isn’t it?
