Multi Tasking?

Ever wonder what your boss really means when he said he expects you to multi task?

Juggling a phonecall on your right ear, screaming to a colleague paging you through the intercom all consecutively while trying to make copies of documents for another awaiting client.

Multitasking? Hey and at the same time wanting you to focus on your tasks at hand.

Latest news, the colleague sitting next to me is to be posted to another institution. Well you have guessed it! I am left with my own devices to take over her duties at the same time maintaining the good order of my own duties. Better news, her posting takes effect 1st Feb. No news yet of a replacement for her. So its a one superwoman show till then. Why am I always caught in the middle of the departmental last minute weird nonsensical decisions?
