Today's irked question is why Amazon can ship books out 22 seconds after ordering, but is taking an indeterminate amount of time to ship an email gift certificate.

Your Mission

Come up with a non-religious, non-helpless-recipient version of the Serenity Prayer (first stanza only):

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
