Hi! I've been in this business for almost two decades and for a short time I also had patience problems. Then I got kids and I finally got it. Loosing patience DOES NOT HELP. Ask yourself "What I am trying to achieve here, with this young padawan asking me questions? Are those questions stupid? What is the underlying reason the padawan asks the question? How can I maximize my help, what kind of response to the question supports what I want to achieve the best?" Anyway, loosing patience only puts off the padawan and while it may help you achieve the immediate goal of not having people ask you questions I think it is just bad long term strategy. Senior people are traditionally meant to help shape younglings. If you make them not ask questions then you are very likely not doing an important part of your job.
