Everyone says that they can multi-task (maybe not everyone, but a lot), and in my long long old life, I've only met one person who could talk to me on the phone about weird music at the same time she was actively editing something that was going to go to trial the next day. And be fully active in both parts of this.
It was freaky.
I don't believe that most people can multi-task. I believe that one person can multi-task (that I have met), that some people can switch very quickly, and that the rest are delusional.
For myself, I can process vast amounts of information, and I can context switch, maybe slowly -- but I can't multi-task. After 40 years in the field - I'm not sure that many claimants can.
CMV: It's just a way for douches to say that they aren't paying attention.
