I don’t know what it is about me and computer productivity. It’s almost a fetish (for lack of a better word), being able to have 8 or more applications open at once, doing 16 things or more.
Right now, let me tell you what I’m doing:
-Pre-blogging in Word, so I don’t use valuable Internet time
-Installing Adobe software from 6 different discs (ALL AT THE SAME TIME)
-Listening to Café del Mar on iTunes
-Cloning my class data to four 4GB flash drives, so it’s quicker to roll out new curriculum
-Copying all pertinent data to my own personal 16GB flash drive
-Updating the playlists on my iPod
-Backing up to Time Machine (does that count?)
-Twittering
-Managing the Internet Café (which is NOT my job)
And all that is on ONE computer. I didn’t even bother mentioning the FOUR OTHER LAPTOPS on my desk.
-The first is Trent’s (the Fitness Instructor), whose I’m rebuilding his iTunes library files, since he has them strewn across his computer and two external hard drives.
-The next is Leif’s (the Art Director). I’m recovering music files from his iPod and his computer simultaneously.
-The third computer is one of my class laptops, which is assisting in the recovery of Leif’s computer.
-The last laptop is Maurizio’s (the Italian pianist), who’s always having issues with Vista (issues that I never thought possible).
Oh, and did I mention that I’m also installing a new wireless access point for the Internet Café? ALSO NOT MY JOB.
So, as you see, I have a bit of a problem. I’m pretty disconnected from the rest of the world, since I have to pay by-the-minute, but that doesn’t slow down progress. It simply diverts it. I find other things to multitask with.
HEEEELLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!!!!
