My Time is Precious

How can I put across a point to people who are so incredibly BORING and yet be polite about it?

I'm sure you've all come across people like that - they talk in CIRCLES and Beat about the Bush and after 10 minutes of talking ad nauseum, you still have NO CLUE what they're trying to say? *shake head*

These are the people who will waste your precious time.

Not that I'm a nit-picky time keeper, but I'm at the age where I suddenly see Death as just pacing beside me (no, I'm not dying of terminal illness, touch wood, just terminal boredom) and hence my tagline : Living My Life With Arms Wide Open.

Time has become a precious commodity, and although SOME people might call it wasting time, I do like to sit at the beach and contemplate. Or just vegetate. Hey, even go-getters need time out, and believe me, being a sociable person requires a lot of energy.

Which is why I resent having to politely listen to people who cannot get to the point, and who they themselves admit they're not sure WHAT they're trying to say.

AND THESE PEOPLE STILL DON'T KNOW WHEN TO SHUT UP!

Something I learnt from watching Bambi from Disney -
If you haven't anything nice to say, don't say nothing at all.
