A lot of good and fun things have been happening and I notice I get a lot done during my episodes of multi-tasking. Hmmmmm, wait. Let's spend some time discussing multi-tasking. I know it was big in the 90s and for about 10 years thereafter. Personally, I'm really not a fan. I think it allows one to get many things done at the same time in a haphazard fashion, none of them 100%. I hear the screams. I know multi-tasking has its place and its followers.
Oh forget it. The screams were from the multi-taskers who drink coffee, talk on the cell phone, apply make-up, read the newspaper/map, and text while driving. I'm thinking those were the screams of death I just heard as they collided with that tractor trailer right in front of them that they didn't see. You know how it goes. I'm not talking about that type of multi-tasking. I'm not even talking about the type of multi-tasking that occurs at the restaurant or the hospital. We have to multi-task at Manatee Memorial and my staff has to multi-task at Carmella's Casa Italiana. It's a necessary evil.
This is the type of multi-tasking I do. I work on back of the house restaurant activities, I check to see what's happening with my friends and restaurant contacts on Facebook, I drink coffee, I do a little dusting and vacuuming, I play Words with Friends....and so on and so forth. Nothing life threatening or critical....well, the back of the house restaurant accounting is critical, but it's hardly life and death, like texting and driving! Hmmmmmm, you know who you are.....but once again, I digress.
Yesterday, during one of my log ins on Facebook, I noticed that a friend and former co-worker commented on an entry I made about nurses. From there, I went to her page to see what she's been doing. While there, I noticed that another friend of ours had posted a link. I did what any normal entrepreneur would do, I followed the link. I'm really glad I did.
It was a page created by Seven Years Past. They are a local band who cut their first album in 2010, 24 Days in May, in California. They are very active in the Sarasota/Bradenton area and they are planning to cut their second album in New York.
They are currently raising money for their trip and expenses. I think it's a worthy cause. Follow the link and see what the buzz is all about. As a struggling restaurant owner/entrepreneur in an unstable economy, I certainly understand their plight. Just like we have to support our restaurants so that they stay in business for when the economy recovers so that we have some place to go to celebrate, we also have to support our musicians so that we have new and great music to listen to during our celebrations. Yes, the economy is going to recover...and I hope to still be here with Carmella's Casa Italiana and Seven Years Past.
Check it out. What do you think?
