LONDON -- With a tube strike in full swing on Thursday, most people were just trying to figure out how they'd make it to work on time, but a photo of a man taking multitasking to a whole new place put us all to shame.

An overground commuter snapped this photo of a man with a unique customised adjustable music stand workstation complete with a laptop and keyboard. Not only did the man appear to be working away on his commute, but he also had a baby strapped to his chest in a carrier.

"I'm not quite sure what was so urgent that he needed to set up a travel desk situation," nurse Rachel Pavitt told the Evening Standard about the man who was on the train when she boarded at Stratford on Tuesday.

"I have seen some pretty strange things on London transport but I have not quite seen anything like that before."

Pavitt said the mystery commuter seemed oblivious to the interest expressed by her and others on the train, saying that he was still working away on his laptop before she got off the train.

Let's just hope his laptop doesn't run out of juice. Another Overground passenger was recently arrested for trying to charge his phone while commuting.
