All events in one day

All in one day, I found out that my neighbor locked himself out, my roommate got a flat tire, and I got the DNA I wanted from patient samples. On top of that, I had to manage a few different projects at work--a summer student, give advice to younger students, troubleshoot my own work, delegate another student's project, teach, figure out protocols. Oh and worry about my significant other's day at work, whether he's cooking or eating okay, the status of his late computer project. Is it me or does part of growing up involve multitasking more and more things? I cannot imagine what my boss deals with on a regular basis. Imagine running a lab and having 3 kids and a hubby! or add clinic duties to that. I hope one's fluid intelligence (the ability to hold multiple things in the working memory) increases with practice such as managing these tasks. Sometimes, amidst the chaos, it's quite nice to be able to sit down to concentrate on one task at a time.
