No multi-tasking please!

In Office

Boss: Did you do that job I gave you earlier?

Me: Of course I did!

Boss: When??

Me: A long time back

Boss: But then why didn’t you give it to me? You know, you should hand over your assignments as soon as it is done..What were you doing anyway??

Me: Oh, I am sorry..I was busy mopping the floor

Boss: Here??

Me: No, no at home..And I was watching TV at the same time

Boss: Aha! That’s the whole problem! You shouldn’t be multitasking! You should do only one job at a time! You should concentrate on whatever you are doing...How many times have I told you..
....

Hmm...some dream huh?

Ladies are usually very good at multitasking......My wife is an expert and i envy her doing it...at times it becomes scary especially when she is on a drive...mobile phone in the ear,hands on steering,and God knows wats on her mind....?...well written dream. I think you too are good at multitasking...

I hope so too, Destiny's child!!

bigB, I think women need to multitask a lot nowadays..Everyone is always so busy that 24 hrs never seems to be enough..Yea, I too do a lot of things at a time.. Job+household work= not easy..and with kids- I can't even imagine!!! :-o I have no idea how working moms manage everything...

Bosses! You can never make them happy. Always wanting this and that, yesterday.

As for them, they are just full of excuses as to why they forgot our requests. That's bosses for you!

Now, I'm off to mop the floor before my wife wakes up!

Take Care,
Peter

Hello Peter! A warm welcome to you! Indeed, bosses are difficult to please..And you have defined bosses very well..Anyway my boss has not scolded/advised me directly up till now..Hopefully, he won't :-o And I have no idea why I had such a dream..
So you are off to mop the floor?lol! Let me not delay you further!
