Actually the worst thing is when you enter short term waiting mode only for it to take an hour so you're just stuck in short term waiting mode for an hour.
Problem is that in this case you dont KNOW when the thing is going to happen, and if you go into long term mode then when the thing you're waiting for comes along you're not going to be ready for it because you're now asorbed into the thing you chose to do for long term waiting mode. Short term waiting mode means you're ready to pop off and go when it comes. But if you had known it would take an hour from the beginning youd have gone about things totally different.

Oh yeah. Just refreshing the short term mode

wouldn't it be better to always switch to long-term mode, or is it a matter of switching costs
