Multi-tasking chaos

I'm sitting here at my lap top with both Safari and Firefox open. A total of eleven tabs are up and running at the moment. Plus I'm slowly writing my paper for Print Production in word. I have iTunes open and Illustrator is open and on hold. Had to take a break from my artwork to blog about my current madness on one little screen. It begs the question, can this be considered productive multi-tasking at this point? I mean really, I am all for working on a paper and an art project with music going on and facebook up to cut the tidiness of homework. Then there's Google! I google everything, so there's almost always a tab open for that. Along with my gmail tab I keep open most of the time. Pandora of course, yes that is right I am listening to iTunes but I don't close my Pandora tab..just in case. This is the start of madness! The mere fact that I think it's good to separate my "important tabs" from my "temporary tabs" by utilizing two internet programs should tell me something. Alas, it all seems so normal to me now. I have been sucked in by my own over zealous need to multi-task. I don't confine this to my personal lap top either. When I am in Layout Design class, the first thing I do is open fb, gmail, Google and Pandora in Safari. Sometimes iTunes depending on the day comes up too. Then I make my way to InDesign to work on my project. I could be proactive and downsize..but due to my Libra traits I am horrible at decision making skills so that isn't going to happen! =)

Ribbons

Yesterday was World AIDS Day and I was late for class. Left my little red ribbon at home. Had to make one from a scrap of red fabric from the Interior Design department's stash. Gave it to a friend on my way out of the building that evening. Sharing my artsy red ribbon made me smile. Got home and remembered my red ribbon pin is on my winter coat. It was sixty degrees yesterday so no coat. Would have also made it hard to locate had I been looking for it in a drawer, not on a coat. This is so I will wear it all winter long. Should buy another to pin on my purse perhaps, have one with me always. One day isn't enough for the people I love.
