It seems that dwarves are likely to stop activities and start new ones mid-activity. It took ages for my mason to haul all the blocks he needed to the bridge site - he kept dropping them and then going back for the next one as though he had finished hauling the first one.

Like I said, I think it stems from dwarves thinking something like this:

Urist: "Loo loo loo, I'll haul this rock."
Urist heads towards the stockpile and comes to the hallway between the mine and it. He spies a dwarf standing in the opposite end of the hallway.
Urist: "Loo loo l-OH CRAAAAAAAP IT'S A DEAD END. OH WELL. I better go do something else." Urist drops the rock.
Not-Urist: "Oh! A rock. Loo loo loo, I'll haul this rock."
Repeat.

So, what kind of a dwarf are you, an Urist, or a not-Urist?

Seriouly lazy to not be able to come up with another name than Urist. Whats wrong with Olon, Bombrek or Melbim?

Its "not Urist"

I don't like the sound of Urist for some reason. Not sure why.

Because it's a bit overused, maybe?

"So you took care of him.  Dead as a doornail.  Weren't those your EXACT words?"
"Umm, maybe this is a different Urist."
"Yeah!  I mean Urist is a very popular name nowadays."
"Yeah.  Remember, like a few years ago?  Every other boy was named Jason, and the girls were all named Britney."
