one skill im developing at this job: massive multitasking

for instance right now, as i post this, im also on the phone, updating a huge dashboard, answering emails and AIMs and have five other documents and four websites open.
then of course at a certain point after somewhat successfully keeping all the balls up in the air-and i count my sense of humor, sanity, eating and sleeping as balls- ill find ive dropped one in a big way.
anyway this began as me apologizing to chase for dropping a small ball and then spiralled into absolute insanity as most of my conversations with chase tend to do. and, of course, all this banter while were typing, emailing, calling, yelling over the cube walls.
...you'd think we did something really important around here.

Chase(2:16:55 PM): were you able to follow up with Aly on the status?
Daisy (2:17:49 PM): yes. i did and then i never heard back. and then completely forgot about it. let me just check.im on a call right now it might be a minute.
Daisy (2:24:01 PM): yeah she didnt respond. I can ask her again.
Chase (2:24:25 PM): call that ho
Chase (2:24:30 PM): lol, but don't repeat that
Daisy (2:24:33 PM): HA ok
Daisy (2:24:36 PM): haha
Daisy (2:24:40 PM): lord
Chase (2:25:00 PM): what?
Daisy (2:25:06 PM): just... you.
Chase (2:25:17 PM): no no, I'm not God
Chase (2:25:19 PM): I'm Chase
Chase (2:25:25 PM): easily mistaken, but not the same
Daisy (2:25:26 PM): oh oh sorry i got all confused there
Chase (2:25:42 PM): my water walking abilities aren't there
Daisy (2:25:43 PM): i know really, its that blinding light that tends to eminate from your AIM icon.
Chase (2:25:54 PM): those were angels
Daisy (2:26:02 PM): cahlearly.
Chase (2:26:09 PM): LOL
Chase(2:26:16 PM): I was like. um is that a word I don't know?
Chase (2:26:22 PM): I tried sounding it out
Chase(2:26:25 PM): and then laughed
Daisy (2:26:26 PM): hahhahaha
Daisy (2:26:30 PM): awesome
Chase (2:27:00 PM): lkpkp
Chase(2:27:04 PM): that was Ashley saying hi
Chase (2:27:08 PM): by stomping on my keyboard
Chase (2:27:11 PM): she does it often
Daisy (2:27:28 PM): HAH wow. just puts her foot right up there?
Chase(2:27:45 PM): lol, no she uses her dirty little paws
Chase (2:28:03 PM): I moved into Perrin's window cube
Chase (2:28:10 PM): since she moved to SF. Whore
Daisy (2:31:51 PM): seriously. so its just you two? how many people are in that office?
Chase (2:32:16 PM): 35-40
Daisy (2:32:27 PM): um wow.
Chase (2:32:35 PM): but only 15 of us are PR
Daisy (2:32:36 PM): we have 3-5.
Daisy (2:35:28 PM): but in case you think youre the only office with shennanigans, im on a call and ellen just shrieked about some "funk in her turkey" and then almost launched a piece over the cube wall.
Chase (2:35:41 PM): nice
Chase(2:36:05 PM): tell her to keep her swine flu infested turkey to herself
Daisy (2:36:51 PM): more or less what i said.
Daisy (2:37:06 PM): it really was repulsive.
Chase(2:37:08 PM): does Thekla participate in your antics?
Daisy (2:37:33 PM): well she does but she tends to be anywhere from one to five beats behind the ball.
Daisy (2:37:41 PM): and some things are very very lost in translation.
Daisy (2:37:45 PM): but thast often half the fun
Chase (2:37:57 PM): that's so sad
Chase (2:38:04 PM): that's why I could never live anywhere else
Chase(2:38:11 PM): my life would be over if I wasn't funny
Chase (2:38:14 PM): or laughing
Daisy (2:38:51 PM): wow. what a statement. true though. i hear you. then again im sure youd be funny in many cultures, inadvertantly maybe, but theyd be laughing.
Daisy (2:39:25 PM): for example, i was funny in italy when i walked into a bar and asked for a blow job
Daisy (2:39:37 PM): because thats one mere vowel away from the word for grapefruit juice
Chase (2:39:41 PM): OMG
Chase (2:39:42 PM): OMG
Chase (2:39:46 PM): my stomach hurts
Chase (2:39:49 PM): laughing too hard'
Daisy (2:40:03 PM): exactly. so were the 23 men at the counter

Chase(2:41:08 PM): did you ever have a hamster or gerbil?
Chase (2:42:33 PM): also, I'm asking because the wood shavings you put in their cage has a distinct smell
Chase (2:42:44 PM): fresh, woodsie, but definitely smells like wood
Chase (2:43:00 PM): well my colleague here, Drew, wears a cologne that smells like wood chips
Chase (2:43:05 PM): and it DRIVE ME CRAZY!
Chase (2:43:17 PM): I'm like dude, you smell like hamster shavings
Daisy (2:43:17 PM): good crazy or bad?
Daisy (2:43:21 PM): ok bad.
Daisy (2:43:23 PM): hahahah
Chase (2:43:26 PM): I mean it's fresh
Chase(2:43:32 PM): but who wants to smell like wood shavings?
Daisy (2:43:45 PM): i dont want to smell like anything that could remotely be related to a rodent.
Daisy (2:43:48 PM): so yeah. bad choice
Daisy (2:43:55 PM): someone should make a point of saying something
Chase (2:43:57 PM): exactly
Chase (2:44:17 PM): I can't. I already critic his AWFUL outfit choices
Daisy (2:44:17 PM): like, gosh its so funny every time i come over to your cube i get this wave of memories of my dearly departed harry the hamster
Daisy (2:44:29 PM): oh no!
Daisy (2:44:31 PM): hes a disaster
Chase (2:44:31 PM): he's a bad gay
Daisy (2:44:38 PM): hes GAY?!
Daisy (2:44:42 PM): horror.
Chase (2:44:45 PM): totally
Chase (2:45:03 PM): we used to have a HOT gay colleague but he got canned
Chase (2:45:24 PM): and now I'm stuck with fashion faux paus Drew
