Multitasking

Back to work after being sick all weekend and barely moving.  I couldn't decide if I was still contagious or if I would be able to make it through 10 hrs, but decided to try it. Which brings me to the subject of multitasking.  I do not feel like that I do it well, but....maybe I do.

The one and only male in my office other than doctors is sitting in the office with 400 new plans for one of the insurance that we take.  They are not sent to us in alph or numerical order so they all needed put in order, hole punched and exchanged with the old.  He is sitting here picking up one paper at a time, looks at it hard, slowly sorts through 350 old plans, finds the old, takes it out, slowly hole punches the new, puts in the the book and clamps down the ring binder.

And starts over.  He is going to do this 399 more times. 

I want to be home sleeping because I'm VERY hot and miserable, but I'm at work because it would make them shorthanded if I stayed home. 

And he is punching holes one at a time.

I ask, "You know that you can punch like 10 papers at a time and save 100s of mins".  "I know", he reples, "but this system works". 

Please excuse me while I bang my head on the WALL. 

I tell him sarcastically, "If I knew you would be punching holes all day, I could stayed home and did it for you".  He is like, "Ah, no, I just got them this morning".

He doesn't even get what I'm trying to say.  

AHH, welcome to Loonyville!
