Super Multitasking

Who says men can't multitask? I did (but should NEVER be attempted unless your're a trainned professional =p) something this morning which just proved the theory wrong. This was what happend this morning. I was on my way to the office, when suddenly I received a text message from a colleague from the office telling me that a client was looking for me and it was REALLY URGENT. Well, I text back my colleague to ask if she taken down the number of the client but she said the client told her that I got her number. Hmmm...I was about 10 mins away from the office, so I just told my colleague that I'm nearby and will return the call once I get in.

Right after doing so, I got stuck in a traffic jam! Well...feeling uneasy, I wanted to call the client back since it was urgent..BUT....the contact number is in my laptop on the back seat of my car!....So what to do? Being stuck in a jam, I stretched out to the back seat and grabbed my laptop, turned it on and searched through my contact list while driving!...So now I got the laptop on my lap, and my mobile phone on the one hand, and the other holding the steering wheel! I was lucky that traffic was slow otherwise I think I would have gotten into an accident. After all that trouble, it turns out the client only wanted some text copy to be changed on the already "live" site...not really crucial if you ask me....GAH!!!

Luckly there wasn't any cops around at that time and I think if I had another extra hand, I would use my camera to take a photo of how I did it...hahaha...I wonder what the world record is for multitasking while driving...
