			You can unitask if you have enough work assembled for a set project.  I can spend most of a day working on one part of my job, and when I'm approaching a deadline this can mean putting my calls through to answerphone and not checking my emails (and closing the Cellar!)  I consider that unitasking. I agree it wouldn't be possible every day with the job I do though.

			 I train surgeons  ... (how to use the software I support). I don't think you could get through Medical School without multi-tasking.

			I suggest unitasking the reloading of ammo.

			I'm surprises that no one gave me the BS line "your boss is allowed to expect more from you". Thought about it after I posted that. |

			Wow, I can't recite people word for word even if I am paying sole attention to them.

			You're Boss is allowed to expect anything he/she wants from any employee. I'll go even further and say he/she can demand it. You are free to tell him/her to take the job and shove it.

			Multitasking usually ends badly for me.

			The word, 'multitasking,' reminds me of a job I had once, where we were eventually assigned numbers, and no longer referred to by our names. I hightailed it out of there not too long after that.

			Poor multi-tasking is the generator of loose ends.
