Women Power!

Its noon here and as usual I am skipping lunch. I know crash dieting is not good, but taking a lot of coffee had made me loss my appetite. You know what my current work is? Making a big excel sheet of all the work I have done. I just made some changes in 51 files and now I am made to keep a record of what all I did. I hate preparing documents. The documentation will be done my some one and the implementation will be done by some one else. The result? The document looks like the description of an elephant as seen by a blind man. Or is it the other way round?

 

When I was sitting at home for 3 months, cooking, cleaning, watching TV and waiting for my hubby to come back, 24 hrs looked like a life long time to me. Before that when I was single and working, I never ever thought about home. There was always Amma, for that. Now… I just don’t know what I am doing. Even while I am working on a particular thing, my mind will be planning how to do the pending works, once I finish the current job. Works may include both at office and home.

 

I have never seen even a single man managing more than one thing at a time. For eg: my husband can’t cope with the idea of cooking 2-3 dishes at a time. When I ask him “We will put the second dish in the other burner..” He says “no, let this one finish first”. And I say “if we do simultaneously, we can save time”. But no.. He can’t concentrate on 2 things at a time. Not his fault… its in his genes.

 

I want to praise the soul of all working moms in the world. I asked my colleague in Ireland, who is a working mom, how she manages and she told “simple, I won’t cook at home”. And I was wonderstruck. The working moms of Kerala were never like that. I have seen those ladies work like machines from 5 am till 12pm. Do they have special abilities? They make breakfast, lunch and dinner [while I make only dinner]. They have minimum 2 kids [while I have none]. They use public transport [I rarely use them]. And still… I feel like being on my knees and saying “hallelujah” to them. So much for underestimating women power!! I feel I am not even a woman, when compared to them.

addition: Men CAN do multitasking. But they just cant juggle different types of mutltitasking, like remembering grocery list, minding the baby, planning to do next days office task list[includes, meeting, presentation], getting a good bargain ---altogether simulatneously. Men CAN mutlitask only different tasks in the office.. like planning meetings, presentation, managing job list etc.. NO mixing and matching.
