I hate being the last person to leave at #work, knowing that everything has to be just so for the person who is the first to arrive at 5:30am and all the people who depend on them. It's "Oh my god, I left the oven on!" anxiety times ten.
-
Small pay packet from last week, and another shift canceled today. The lean winter months, when the nation's appetite for corn chips and caffeinated sugar drinks temporarily abates. #work
-
Had four days straight off from #work, which was lovely, but brutal on the bank balance. Quiet time of year, so full-timers from across the shop are being seconded to my department in order to make up their hours, displacing casuals like yours truly.
-
Moved furniture across #Sawtell and up a dizzying flight of stairs. Then four hours #work. Still have to make a bed with an aching back, and Kitty currently hiding among the pile of bedclothes on it. But we have a '~/'. Hard to believe, actually.
-
Had a s**t morning. Was thinking that the last thing I want to do is to go into #work this afternoon. But I did, and by 10 minutes in I was feeling fine. There's nothing quite so rejuvenating as feeling useful, in even the most trivial way.
-
I wonder if anybody my age actually feels that they are half as far away from retirement as they are from their first day of #work. I certainly don't.
-
6am starts at #work the next two days. Worse, I'm nominally in charge. Nothing good ever comes of letting it be known that you're reasonably competent on a good day.
-
The #work musak is doing me in, though. Time for a hefty dose of the mighty #Fall to scrub my ears clean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpWVk3h2SA8

Good day at #work today after a weird one yesterday. Not keen on walking home through a rough neighbourhood (in real estate speak: clean and modern, just minutes away from beach, shops, and cafés) in the dark, but I like afternoon shifts because I can be satisfied everything is done for the day before clocking off.
-
Long day at #work today (i.e. 7 hours - What? Is that not exceptional?). I feel tired in a virtuous, hardworking way, but it really cuts into my drinking time.
-
Blimey. Just checked my #work roster for next week. Nine days straight (at least) from tomorrow.
-
My 3½ hour shift expanded today, as has been the rule in recent months, this time to 10 hectic hours. Good Friday will be spent on domestic chores, then it's up again for a 6am start on Saturday, finishing Lord-knows-when. I'm still enjoying most of it, but I'm not sure "casual" is the right adjective for this kind of #work.
-
Was played like a kazoo at #work today. What a dupe! The question was expressed as "Do you want to learn how to do X?". Of course I do; I want to learn everything. That's who I am. The question I was interpreted as assenting to was "Do you want to be responsible for doing X on a regular basis?". I've been out of regular paid employment for too long - what a rookie mistake!
-
Oh. Wishful thinking. School holidays from tomorrow. There goes the next two weeks. Better enjoy the rest of the afternoon. #work
-
For the first day in about a fortnight I have neither been rostered on to #work, nor asked to come in at short notice. I feel relieved and neglected. The start of the winter lull?
-
I used to wonder why everybody at #work over a certain age hobbled about, wincing. It's the fecking safety shoes. It's like trying to go about your daily business with skis strapped on. Eventually it's going to take it's toll on your musculature.
-
I took the day off. It was a rough night and I had an assignment to finish. Just uploaded the fucker. Can I start drinking now? #insomnia #study #work #fml
-
In a flap trying to get ready for #work. Honestly, I don't know how you people who do more than three to six hours a day manage.
-
Saw tregeaglet minor at #work today. Still rocking the goth Hello Kitty look. Not a lot of people could pull that off. It's those darn @tregeagle charm genes. They can get away with anything, those three.
-
I have been having such a great time at #work lately. Working very physically hard, but with air conditioning, and damn near no responsibility. Bliss! And the people! Such a procession of delightful eccentrics I'd never had guessed were practically in the next cell over from me in the Colorbond open air prison.
