Multitasking

Permalinks to this entry: individual page or in monthly context. For more material from my journal, visit my home page or the archive.

Right now I have wireless modems, Web design, event planning, temp agencies, maritime shipping software, rock bands, conference agendas, and digital video on my mind. And that's just for my writing and editing clients. Never mind that I'm drumming in one performance (or maybe two) on Saturday and I need to make sure all the costumes are clean, it was photo day at my older daughter's preschool today, my youngest wants to wear swimsuits all the time (in February), we need to fill up the car before the extra 3.5 cent tax comes in on Saturday, my parents are in Mexico next week so I don't have my usual day without the kids on Tuesday to work, and we ran out of most groceries today. Oh, and some of those writing clients are late on paying invoices. And the e-mail and spam keep piling up. And my wife has a lot of papers to mark over the weekend.

I'm a little distracted.

Then again, it's like this most of the time, so I'm used to it.
