Absent-Minded

Recently I've been finding that I begin one task, only to leave it uncompleted as another task grabs my attention. This can happen within seconds.

For example, I feel like a drink so I get the Coke out of the fridge. I realise I need a glass, so I move to my desk to get the glass I used earlier. I see unpaid bills sitting next to the glass, so I start to open the bills. I start to open the bills, and notice that there is a pile of paid bills that I should file first. I file the paid bills, and then continue to clean my desk. I take the cup from my desk to the kitchen to wash it, only to discover a bottle of warm Coke on the counter...

This is bad enough, but one week later I find a literally half-opened bill sitting on my desk!

So, to any lady readers out there, take this as a warning. Men do not multitask. :)
