Multi-Tasking

I believe it to be a well established fact (at least in my mind) that woman are much better at multi-tasking then men. Case in point. ME. Now I don't wanna toot my own horn…but baby move over cause ... toot TOOT!! Here are all of the things I have noticed I can to accomplish in an 8.5 hour work day.

First, I arrive at work at approximately 8:05 (5 minutes late virtually EVERY day), drink my morning coffee while leisurely surfing my e-mail, at around 9 am I decide to get to work. For the rest of the day I manage to fit in a variety of work like tasks, pretty much all my own and sometimes that of other people, looking up recipes for delicious new foods and other Martha/Oprah like ideas, on line shopping - including some of my favourites like sears.ca, ebay.ca, ikea.ca, etc, researching conspiracy theories, checking the weather multiple times , checking my banking information multiple times AND paying bills, e-mailing a co-worker that works less then 10 feet away about 50-100 times a day, talk to my sister in law at least 100-200 times a day, and on days when she doesn't work, talking to Amy 100-200 times a day, multiple (and I DO mean multiple) trips to the BR cause I DO drink the recommended 8-10 glasses of water a day (PLUS coffee), checking every blog I can think of, checking the BB6 site every hour to see what those crazy house guests are up to now, and chatting with my beloved NUTTY co-workers every time I get up (the latest gossip being that of a potential affair, a divorce, possible suicide, and that was all last Tuesday) I also fit in a lunch break, and 2 fifteen minute breaks.

I personally think that I should be paid much more then my counterparts, I mean come on…anyone with that amount of useless shit happening in their life definitely deserves some sort of compensation.

Now aren't you glad I just told you where some of your tax dollars are going….
