Multi-Tasking Is Hazardous to Your Health

Ok, I admit it. I'm a chronic multi-tasker. I'm obsessed with doing at least 4 things at once. And that's on a lazy day. Last night I cooked a teriyaki chicken stir-fry while checking e-mail, listening to an audio book and unpacking from my weekend. While I waited for the oiled pan to heat up I stepped into the other room to finish reading an e-mail. In the mere moments I was away, the pan decided to turn into a pot of flaming death. Fortunately I had just purchased a small sack of flour (the first flour I've owned in over a year). In a comedic routine of sheer panic I tore at the sack of flour until it exploded into the raging fire. With the flame extinguished I stood in clouds of smoke, covered in flour, wondering if the blackened pan would ever be usable again. I guess this should be a lesson to me: multi-tasking kills. Just say no.
