There's several things that I am not good at, but I manage to ignore them. It is not often that I am forced to confront areas where I am really lame.
Except today.
Today I had opportunity to examine at length, and fully embrace, an area where I am an absolute failure.
Multi-tasking.
I cannot multi-task.
I found myself checking-in boys who had registered online for lacrosse tryouts. Some were on the list, some where not. General chaos and confusion were the order of the day. People were asking me questions, papers were in danger of blowing away, kids were surrounding me, responsible adults were expecting me to know what was going on.....and my I.Q. descended into the single digits. I would answer questions with whatever tidbit sprang to mind, quite often seemingly random, and entirely useless, bits of information. It was really pretty bad.
It was a situation where I wanted to be composed and organized, yet I was neither.
It's one of those things about me, though. It's why I dislike Vegas. All the sound and lights and sitimuli leave me reeling with over-stimulation, such that I can't think.
Tim tells me I need to learn to delegate in situations like that. No doubt he's right. If only I could think of that when my brain isn't working.
