Agree totally. I really can't stand this one, especially since it's spoken as some kind of point of pride. Women often get smug about being better multi-taskers than me. Ok, so? If eating a cheeseburger while doing your nails and talking on the phone is some kind of epic achievement, maybe multitasking is a worthwhile skill. But the reality is the cure for cancer will not be found while multitasking.
I've out up with too many meetings, both in person and teleconferenced, where the person at the other end is so obviously knee deep in their iPhones they can't focus on what the hell the subject at hand is. To actually brag about this "skill" is insane.
