Uber-tasking

I can't decide if I'm impressed or disgusted, or both.

On the way home from work tonight, I saw a middle-aged man rolling through traffic on South End Ave on a razor scooter. This, in and of itself, isn't all that unusual. This man, however, had the lip of a paper Starbucks cup trapped between his teeth AND was typing an email on his blackberry.

An accident waiting to happen? Yes. (Take your pick of accidents, really. I pictured car/scooter accidents, scalding coffee on the face accidents, and email typo faux pas, all happening within seconds of each other.)

Was I jealous of his multi-tasking abilities? Also yes.
