Anatomy of an interruption
Lanna: So you think Six is still better than Noah?
Emma: Absolutely. Track me on this.
Conversation with Noah:
5 minutes for him to tell me what I need to know.
20 minutes of fluff he insists on telling me that either is supposed to explain the 5 minutes, except they don't need more explanation, or he's gone off on some "need to know" tangent I don't need to know.
15 minutes (Each) for me to tell you, QAGoddess, Blinky, Solies, JumJill, and sometimes Wanda about what happened. Sometimes I save 15 minutes because Blinky and Solies are together so I only need to tell it once. That's an hour and a half.
20 minutes for me to blog about it.
Total interruption time: 2 hours 15 minutes average, for each Noah interruption.
Conversation with Six:
2 minutes for her to tell me what she needs 5 minutes to tell me.
10 minutes for me to go and locate the other 3 minute of information she should have given me.
10 minutes to talk you or Aura down from the ledge.
Total interruption time: 22 minutes.
Everyday I work here, it's like I gain nearly two hours a day.
Lanna: And yet, we're still behind.
Emma: But less behind then I would be working with Noah. I take my victories where I find them.
Lanna: Find one for me!
Emma: You're working with me!
Lanna: Hurray for the packet!
Emma: Absolutely. Track me on this.
