if someone is talking to me while I'm trying to read something, I retain nothing.

i cannot multitask. my brain just can't do it. i used to work at a place that had ear radios on while on shift. if I was talking to a customer and someone said my name on the radio, I'd just flip the thing out of my ear and keep focusing on the customer.

got in trouble a lot for that one XD. sorry, boss. i can't split focus. you'll have to wait.

yeah my last job exploded because my boss at jack in the box insisted i charge cars while taking orders over the headset

i could only take orders if i was putting them into the kiosk as they came. if i tried to remember that shit while talking to someone else to charge them i would remember nothing

and he got so fucking mad at me over it

heard so many similar stories from so many others in similar positions

tl;dr bosses in the fast food industry are ableist shitfucks and don't deserve the air they waste

That's weird. I'm the opposite. I HAVE to be doing 20 things, or my brain shuts off, and I put a shoe in the oven.

I can remember in the year 2000, I was online playing Ultima Online, with a second monitor open for internet browsing, and talking on AIM, while at the same time a TV was on and I was watching the Cleveland Indians take on the Chicago White Sox. While in picture in picture, I had WWF Monday Night Raw on.

Bottom of the 3rd, 2 outs, Jim Thome coming to the plate. He's been slightly off this year, NICE! I just found more iron ore in the mines, and HHH just gave Mick Foley a pedigree, Oh, my friend says there's some raiders in Minoc trying to kill miners for their ore. And according to this post on nintendopower.com's online forums, this guy says the face of Donkey Kong is etched into the side of a mountain in Goldeneye! Well, Rare DID make both games....could be an easter egg.......see? Thome pop fly'd out. Unbelievable! Also, why does WWF and MLB both go to commercial at the same time? I could be flipping the pictures while the other is at commercial, but NOOOOO!!!! Now I have Llama on my way to Britainia. BANK!

And that's how my brain is going at all times. half a second focus here, half a second focus there, and then it blends. Both focuses at the same time. And the more focus's I have, the faster it goes. Pretty sure I could ride a unicycle while juggling buckets of water, and pluggged in toasters. Despite never having juggled, and never having rode a unicycle. It would just be the thing I'm currently doing as I do the other things.

But then if I ever try to focus on just one thing? Ok......let's just tie our shoes...........uhhhhhh...........what were we doing, and why is the house on fire?
