How we wait, why we wait, what we wait for—waiting in line is a daily indignity that we all experience, usually with a little anxiety thrown in (why is it that the other line always moves faster?!?). This smart, quirky, wide-ranging book (the perfect conversation starter) considers the surprising science and psychology—and the sheer misery—of the well-ordered line. On the way, it takes us from boot camp (where the first lesson is to teach recruits how to stand rigidly in line) to the underground bunker beneath Disneyland’s Cinderella Castle (home of the world’s most advanced, state-of-the-art queue management technologies); from the 2011 riots in London (where rioters were observed patiently taking their turns when looting shops), to the National Voluntary Wait-in-Line days in the People’s Republic of China (to help train their non-queuing populace to wait in line like Westerners in advance of the 2008 Olympics). Citing sources ranging from Harvard Business School professors to Seinfeld, the book comes back to one underlying truth: it’s not about the time you spend waiting, but how the circumstances of the wait affect your perception of time. In other words, the other line always moves faster because you’re not in it.

Despite all, with a profound philosophical optimism that better days were coming." From a black perspective, Jackson's work forms a particular and important testimony, both positive and negative, about life in the United States from the 1930s through the 1970s, and about life in the Army during the 1950s. One of Thomas's friends, noted producer and playwright Ned Bobkoff, wrote upon learning of the publication of the collection: "There is an indelible connection between.

Your quick guide to navigating the world of infertility and all the bumps (or, in this case, lack of bumps) along the way. Because when someone you love is having trouble getting pregnant, or going though IVF, it can be tough to know how to help. You may offer advice, tell them to relax or ignore it's happening altogether. Good plan, right?! Not exactly... though you have the best intentions at heart and truly mean well, you may be missing the mark. But, fear not! This book is your crash-course in supporting your person through their journey to baby. From IVF to IUI and all the awkward conversations and confusing medical procedures in between. The Waiting Line breaks it down in a simple, quick-read that will leave you empowered, confident and ready to truly help. PRAISE FOR THE WAITING LINE "This book is a much needed guide for family and friends who have a loved one dealing with infertility. There have been a number of times in my life where I could have really benefited from the wisdom shared in this book. The book is an easy read and the author speaks from experience with such heart to her audience, making the book much more relatable." -Maria Dismondy, Cardinal Rule Press Publishing House & Children's Book Author"Like advice from a caring friend. This little e-book packs a lot of great advice! I loved the "conversational" format as it made me feel like I was talking with a non-judgmental friend. It's hard to know the best way to support someone you care for who's dealing with infertility. The author intersperses humor and understanding in discussion of this sensitive subject. This approach relieves the reader of any guilt for past mistakes and builds confidence for saying and doing the right thing when offering support. I will definitely use this caring advice as my guide if needed in the future." -C.R. Grand Rapids, MI

The traditional queueing literature assumes that service time is largely independent of social influences. However, queues are social systems; and social considerations are therefore likely to impact customers' service-time decision to the extent they have control. Through a series of experiments, we show that when others are waiting in line, customers tend to accelerate their own service time, and in doing so, sacrifice their own consumption utility. This behavior is driven by concern for others. Notably, the effect is diminished when they themselves have waited, as it is perceived as fair to let others wait if one also had to wait. We further show that obscuring the visibility between customers in service and those waiting in line diminishes the negative effect of others queueing on one's own service time.

Updated to integrate the management of associated information processes, expand some application discussions, and provide additional reference material, the intent of this monograph is to help business professionals use waiting line (queuing) analysis methods to improve both service and manufacturing business applications of queuing situations. Emphasis is given to discussing the caveats in applying waiting line theory and becoming aware of the assumptions used in developing that theory. The importance of accounting for variability in waiting line processes is discussed in some detail because the basic queuing equations provide only average performance data under steady-state conditions. Understanding how much variability can exist for a given waiting line scenario provides a manager with the insight required to reduce these effects and develop innovative solutions for improving service while reducing operating costs. In general the mathematical tone of the book is focused on applications, not the derivation of the formulas presented. The few derivation exceptions illustrate some approaches not commonly discussed in textbooks-for example, the use of state diagrams and random number approximations of the probability distributions for use in simple simulation models. To aid in understanding the material presented, some practical examples are given at appropriate points in the text and some simulation approaches using common spreadsheet software are described.
