Unintentional Multitasking


This is Part 2 in an unplanned series, poking fun at myself. I was talking to a friend the other day. She was doing laundry, paying bills, fixing lunch, talking to me and making a grocery list all at the same time. I am sure the ladies of blogland are all saying that is nothing I do that all the time. My ex always said “women are natural multitaskers men are not”. Her theory was women are genetically hardwired to be able to multitask. Something to do with being able to have , actually having was not a requirement. Perhaps the uterus is the where multitasking originates.

I admit doing more than one or two things at once is not really my forte. More often than not I find myself multitasking unintentionally. How is this possible? I am blessed or cursed with a poor short term memory. This is how unintentional multitasking happens in my world. I am folding clothes when I realize I need to switch the laundry. On the way to the garage to switch the clothes the cat is meowing for food. I stop to talk to the cat and feed her. Of course she needs water, so off to the sink I go. When I get to the sink I see the dishes my left. I put the dishes in the dishwasher, refill the cat water dish. By then I forget what I was actually on my way to do. So I sit down at the computer to blog, I see the charger for my cell phone. That reminds me to charge my phone. I left my phone in the truck. I need my keys so I look for my keys. They are on kitchen counter on top of bills to be mailed. I grab the bill and keys. I head to the garage to get my phone. Then I remember the laundry. I throw the bills in the truck to mail and grab my phone, switch the laundry. The circle is complete. I multitasked and was blissfully unaware of it.

Until Next Time
I am as always
Forgetting what the hell I was doing

So now you know our secret. we have long term memories, which any man would attest to. but in the short term, we forget what we went into a room to do, and just do everything we see that needs doing until one thing takes us to the next room. thanks for blowing all of woman kind's cover!

It must be because of the hair...
With long hair you act like a female...

So it's just like me: with this salt and pepper, soon turning to blonde, I tend to act like a blonde too...



And shit.. know you know how the multitasking goes in fact..
that it's not planned... it's just bad memory!!!

It could be the hair, but I have always been this way. The hair is a relatively new thing for me. Guess I am more in tune with my female side than I thought

Thanks for stopping by

Hope you are feeling better Lady G

As I type, I'm talking on the phone, carrying on an intense discussion about Affirmative Action, keeping up that discussion intensely, and printing up some instructions on my other puter. Yeah, I think that some of us are just good at multitasking and some are not. I don't think it's gender-based, though. Some of us are just born that way. Sorry, OOL. I respectfully disagree with you, my friend.

I am not a natural born multitasker. I have adapted. I know far more women who function this way than I do me. I respectfully disagree with you my friend

You are way to kind Delta. My multitasking is just a happy accident. Just making the most of what I have.
