Multi-tasking

Multi-tasking is the fine art if doing two or more things at the same time. Many people pride themselves on how well they can do this. I meet a person who took a lot of satisfaction in the fact that he could do two, and often times three, things at the same time. All I said was, “If none of those deserve your full attention why do them?” I don’t remember his answer but I did notice we didn’t get a Christmas card from him this past year. I’ve seen a person have a call on the office phone, one on the cell phone, trying to respond to an e-mail, while someone was setting in their office. They were trying to – what would that be – quad-tasking?

Now we are making appliances multi-task as well. My calculator died. Not an issue just get another one. I purchased one for under $20 and hooked it up. Not only does it do all the things a calculator is suppose to do but it can tell you the day, date, and time around the world. I don’t think I have ever balanced the checkbook while wondered what time it was in Sweden.
