RE: [motm] The end of the long lead time?

2010-05-02 by Greg James

OK - so putting this in a personal context:

I'm in my early 50s. My actuarial life expectancy is something around 72,
so, like 20 years give or take (in my case probably take, but that's another
story). 2 years (what I've been waiting on a number of my orders from 2004
on) equals roughly 10% of my expected life span.

I hope this puts things in a little more perspective. I'm willing to wait
6-9 months for boutique stuff. Maybe even a year with reasonable excuses.
But 2 years? Gimme a break (preferably before I'm dead)!
