She said no problem and went off to get it and I saw her chatting to some colleagues. When she came back we chatted about work. I was so nervous that I didn't realize till I had almost finished the cup that she had given me a large cup of coffee. My heart was racing the whole day. I cannot understand to this day, how I didn't realize it was coffee not tea.
You were focused on something else. In this case the interview. Not exactly a mundane thing.

Wait until you get older. it really get's bad. The single point of focus outweighs everything. It might be something as simple and not falling in your cluttered garage and you forgot why you came out in the first place.

I'll be politically incorrect and also say that men are way worse than women on the single point of focus. I don't think anyone really "multi tasks" well but some do it better than others.

I am also "happiest" when I'm focused on one task. If I'm trying to repair the car or something around the house I really just want to focus on that until I get it done. A strong sense of accomplishment when completed.
