revenue projections email reading email song multi task stupid nbinder slow down comprehend reading goes quickly

Official transcript

Alice enters Bob's office and asks, "Bob, can I have your revenue projections?"

Bob replies, "No. I'm reading my e-mail. I can't do two things at once."

Bob turns and says, "But I offer you this song instead."

Bob dances and sings, "Ooh-waa-waa! I'm single-task Bob. I'm single-task Bob."

Bob continues dancing and singing, "I can't multitask. I can only do one job."

Alice yells, "Just give me the stupid binder that on your desk!!"

Bob sits back down with his arms on his hips and says, "Sure. And I guess my e- mail can just read itself, right?"

Once Alice leaves, Bob says to himself, "Reading goes quickly when you don't slow down to comprehend."
