My experience has been that it is very rare for someone to have the
luxury of working on a single task or a single project. It is not
unusual to find people working on more than one task within a project,
or on multiple projects. I suspect that in these days of recession,
and the business need to get more work out of less resources, this
multi-tasking is going to become the norm. It isn't impossible to do
efficiently, but it does require excellent time management and
personal organisation skills. Unfortunately we don't always have them
to the required degree. :-(

        I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be.
        The way the people work with their machines.
