> What the hell is multitasking anyway - doing more than one thing at a time?

Yes, that's what it is, as far as I know. I would guess it is of technobabble origin, ie, computers that can do more than one thing at a time, but has been generalized to us human types (jump in here anytime William Safire or Not-Doctor-Bob). I am not exactly fond of the word, but it seems to fit in this case, since it is the hyper, increasingly techno-, overstimulating, multi-tasked world that I am reacting to.
Geez, I'm starting to sound like the uni-you-know-who! (and you know what environment he chose to live in--that would be a bit much in the other direction for me).

And thanks for the offer of the psychic referral. Not interested but appreciate the thought.
