Waiting and more waiting

I'm not very good at waiting.  In fact, I don't know many people who are.  I have, however, been waiting on something to happen for about 2 months now.  I've been told that this "thing" will happen, but every time I ask about it, I'm put off for various reasons, then reassured, "It will happen.  Don't worry."  Did I mention I don't like waiting?
