Multi tasking women

[Nick]

No they don't.

I am presently:

1. Working (really)
2. Being here
3. Helping workmen with tea and coffee
4. Mailing stuff
5. Cooking slow dinner
6. Having the washing on
7. Having dishwasher on
8. Fielding phone calls on three phones
9. Checking my "to do" list
10. Sending real mail in envelopes
11. Organising shared rides to tennis lessons

Mrs Nick has just e mailed me in a panic about her appraisal forms. Her appraisal is scheduled for 11.15. It is now 11.32.

[Bar Wench]

Some can.

I am here
I am working
I am emailing friends
Fielding calls from three lines
Chatting
Shopping

So see. It is possible.

[Nick]

You do 6, I do 11

QED

If I were working from home I could do more. However, one can not cook, sort washing etc from the office.

I am:
1) On Here
2) Phoning round trying to find a tiler with two spare days between now and Christmas
3) Typing and editing articles for the magazine
4) Trying to find suitable references for a "Stop the Truck Stop" article
5) Supplying Mrs S with endless quantities of stationery
6) Buying some text books on Amazon
7) Trying to get to the bathroom (Diuretics strike at the most inconvenient moments)
 Eight) Answering questions from a 6 yo who is off school with an Asthma attack
9) Planning menus for the next week (Taking into account 5 peoples likes and dislikes and my diabetic needs)
10) Choosing pictures for magazine

Mrs S is in the dining room panicking because she cannot find her note book that ALWAYS lives in her handbag. The problem seems to be that I cannot remember which handbag she used last.

[Nick]

That sounds sooooooooooo familiar.

[Uncle Mort]

I seem to be the only one doing one task at a time.

When I'm on here I'm not analysing the company's mobile phone bill or discussing a Blackberry set up wilth one of the Partners or chatting to my colleagues or going to the loo or on the phone talking to the finance company about funding a new company car or...

Multitasking is a misnomer.

[Nick]

Buy a commode

[Snoopy]

I am now also in Asda shopping (virtually you understand)


NOoooooooooooooooo to the commode

[Nick]

I have just switched all my heavy and boring shopping to tesco.com (e.g the 3 gallons of milk each week). I shall now go there and trip lightly through the deli bit

I have long been a supporter of Tesco and Asda Home Delivery services ~ life is too short for supermarket visits.
Currently using Asda as their delivery charges are lower.

[Nick]
