The dangers of multitasking

I sometimes read email, blogs or browse the web while doing other things in the office.

Last morning I was reading something online when a friend called. While I was on that call I saw the bank manager's direct number blinking on my office line. I ignored it (we have our priorities, right?) and went on with my conversation.

When I had finished, I called my bank manager while trying to read Dee's post on the Hed Kandi Girl at the same time.

When my bank manger asked why I had not answered I thought I heard the words "sorry I was on another girl at the time" coming from my lips. I wasn't quite sure if I just thought I'd said it or if I had actually said it.

There was a stunned silence on the other end. "Do you know what you just said?"

Shit! Talk about Freudian slips. And its all Dee's fault.

Ha-ha,your mind seems to be "on" a lot of girls, though you let little things like engagements or the palk straits stand in your way.

And now it's all your fault that I've added another blog to the list I read, taking time away from other things I should be doing.

I read office emails while doing homework with the kids and once my daughter asked something about her work, and I replied you should just take the clause no2 off the contract.
Well she was annoyed for the rest of the evening.
