Yikes, um, Kim, Storm, Lesley....are you out there????
Yes Jen, I'm here.
I see the topic is multi-tasking. Hmmmm.. interesting.
I found an excerpt which expresses my view on the issue perfectly.
------
Multi tasking? Oh, to hear a man utter those two words can bring red to my cheeks. Women are the true multi-taskers of this world.
Why do women do this? We learned about multi-tasking long before there was a term for it, you know. It’s obvious. Just look back at the westerns, the pioneer women. Hell, they all gave birth, along with the Indian women, squatting by a creek. I suspect that was while they were picking berries or herbs for dinner. Yes, I do.
Men don’t understand the term multi-task, though they darned well use it often enough. They think, in fact, that this term belongs to the male dominant world. Boy are they wrong.
Women are the multi-taskers of the world. Everywhere. Who else can hold down a full-time job, while thinking about the kid’s piano practice, swimming lessons and play this week, and remembering the dry cleaning to pick up on her lunch hour, the grocery list for after work, and the stop by the carpenter’s to pay him for building her a, what else, multi-task closet? I’ll tell you who. A woman. Your wife. Your mother. Your sister. Your friend.
While the men keep busy describing all they do, we women are doing it."
