~Multi-tasking-How Many Things Can You Do At Once?
Like:
While
Listening for the baby to wake-up
running a bath
while
talking on the phone
and
watching TV
while
walking on the treadmill
and
listening for the microwave [that food is done]
and doing laundry?
That's 7.

I see as your 1 thing was explained well.
Do you ever chew your food and look around?
Or
Do you chew your food with your eyes closed?

Ah, Ha.
So you can chew your food and stare.
A blank stare or a glaring stare is still a stare.
So that's not 1 but 2 for you!!!! ;D

I'm posting on here while listening to the conversation in my boss's office (its about something I do) and waiting for something to load on my other computer, listening to my .mp3 player, and sorting papers to file.
I've work in an administrative support role of one kind or another since I was 18 plus I'm a mother so its kind of second nature to me. I do not try to multi-task when I have something to do that that is detailed just because I don't want to make mistakes and have to go back and do it again.

Well, I'm doing all those things PLUS listening to the news, drinking a coffee, trying to get a cat hair out of my eyeball, and groping for an Advil after reading this thread.

Wouldn't picking your nose and eating breakfast be the same thing?  |

I wasn't aware that watching TV while listening for the microwave to beep and talking on the phone were considered multi-tasking. I'll have to update my résumé.

Pfffft, what do you think she is, a freakin' amateur?  She gets her booze via direct injection to a vein. Saves time and work. |

I use the wine glass when I'm feeling fancy, the hat when I'm lazy and the IV when I'm desperate. Translation: I use the IV all the time. ITBIC!!! |
