However, eating a blizzard while driving? Well, that comes in 2nd to the guy reading the newspaper that was propped up on his steering wheel as he was heading home during rush hour traffic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311305166391446029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467533615728239939.post-13912013378021761532014-05-28T11:01:51.389-04:002014-05-28T11:01:51.389-04:00I used to think I could multi-task well...then I h...I used to think I could multi-task well...then I had kids and found out otherwise.Kay Kauffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548015800317146108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467533615728239939.post-29238866802212662282014-05-24T21:10:06.265-04:002014-05-24T21:10:06.265-04:00Shouldn't it be legal to run those people down...Shouldn't it be legal to run those people down?

On the serious side, driving around London, as I do, there's barely a day goes by without me nearly running over at least three people walking across the road whilst texting or facebooking (is that a real verb?) Or worse, driving whilst doing the same in a manual car.Three Hoodies Save the Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284152429583290408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467533615728239939.post-78349197830739735382014-05-23T06:31:11.768-04:002014-05-23T06:31:11.768-04:00Let's just say the tea makes you more alert!Let's just say the tea makes you more alert!Mark R Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685591390353442531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467533615728239939.post-67675615841655790172014-05-23T05:44:06.723-04:002014-05-23T05:44:06.723-04:00One thing at a time suits me, but I am doing four ...One thing at a time suits me, but I am doing four other things while leaving this comment. I always enjoy your posts Mark, and I did concentrate while reading, the only distraction was my cup of tea – which isn’t really a distraction – just a tea break!

Someone came up with the bright idea that all the reps in Nintendo's Correspondence section of the Call Center should multitask. Most of us suffered a severe drop in output. Yes, there were two or three that could do so. It's something I cannot do. I must focus on the task at hand. My husband referred to it as my "Teutonic" mind. As for simplifying, most seem to think it means getting rid of modern amenities. Forget that! I grew up without them and dearly love them.Mari Collierhttp://www.maricollier.comnoreply@blogger.com
