Reply #61: What is it with the assumption that multi-tasking is beyond us? [View All]

Not just you, I see it alot. Just because I'm following the developments of "Fitzmas" like a news junky and taking glee at every possible nugget of hope doesn't mean I'm also not working my tail off at the grass roots level.

I'm working my precinct as a Democratic precinct captain, attending candidate/campaign training seminars whenever I can, actively working on a county commission race, on the formation board for a local chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

What I do here in terms of salivating over blogs and becoming giddy or disheartened at DU threads is not the sum total of my being. I really wish some people would recognize that it is not only possible to have both an "online life" and a "real life" but probably extremely likely.

I'd bet there is more groundwork going on than you realize.

ETA: I in no way mean to sound snarky towards you at all. This is a fairly common accusation around here from time to time.
