This early morning onanistic rumination is not getting me out the door to #work.
-
Eek! 30℃ forecast tomorrow, and I have to walk to #work at midday. A gentler introduction to summer, still technically a month away, would have been nice. #newnormal
-
#Work is unexpectedly - worryingly - scarce of late. Silver lining: caught up on a lot of #reading. http://mjd.id.au/node/49459518
-
I was called "young man" at #work today. Like buses, that term comes around far less frequently these days.
-
I am now off the welfare rolls. Now my immediate worry is getting enough #work in the coming months. Living without the duress of "compliance" is worth the risk: dignity is _so_ underrated.

The best thing about working for yourself is not having to negotiate rules that are very, very strict in some contexts and barely alluded to in others. (Of course the meta-rules governing context switching are unwritten.) The worst thing about working for yourself is _everything else_. #work
-
Weird day at #work today. Everything went totally according to plan. That _never_ happens. It was positively creepy.
-
For the past few weeks #work has been sucking up all my energy.
-
24℃ on my #walk to #work this afternoon. Spring is everywhere except in my step. #weather
-
Extraordinary thing: At #work this afternoon a gentleman customer of advanced years (false teeth, melanomas where his hair used to be, etc.) sought my attention by firmly slapping my backside as I was bending to reach a low shelf. I felt ever so slightly sexually harassed. #FirstSexProblems
-
@tregeagle Spending half my earnings on Fisherman's Friends to disguise the fact that I'm ill, because I can't afford to be sent home from #work. I'm #Toormina's Typhoid Mary. Should have generated a fair bit of business for your colleagues by now. On the bright side, my Tom Waits impersonation will be _amazing_ by the time I finally see this off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27LLPANAgzw

A late start at #work today. Time for a slow Palestinian !coffee with cardamons and small spoon of muscavado sugar... and where did the time go? I'd better get going.

Could be worse. You could get up at the crack of dawn, shower, shave, dress, then get a message saying your shift's been canceled. Harrumph. #work
-
I have the thought-I-had-an-afternoon-shift-but-actually-have-a-morning-shift-tomorrow blues. #work
-
It's been close to 20 years since I've had a Monday-to-Friday 9-to-5 job. Which means I can barely remember what it's like to know with confidence what day of the week it is. #work
-
Five rostered shifts this week. Thank you, school holidays. #work
-
I am going to find out who controls the thermostat at #work and buy them a jumper. Sweating all afternoon and not stopping often enough for a drink. Now have a dehydration headache and acute grumpiness.
-
Highlight of the year, #Sawtell Chilli Festival tomorrow. I have #work 6am-9-ish, so intend to spend the rest of the day groaning, snacking, and drinking. Nice to see our chum @panda is still looking after the website from sunny Estonia: https://www.sawtellchillifestival.com.au

Have been saying that my current casual job is a check-your-brain-at-the-door gig. I now think that's closer to literally true than I thought. Trying to remember what I did this morning, it all has a hazy, dreamlike quality. I really don't think you could say I was there, in any appreciable measure. #work
-
Called in for an unscheduled 3 hours. I like #work when it's quiet and it's just me and 1 or 2 permanent staff, so I'm basically doing all the menial stuff by myself, or when it's utterly berserk and _everyone_ is in, working flat out. This afternoon it was the latter, and it was great. It might have helped that I wasn't expecting to be working so late in the day, so I was a wee bit tipsy. (I walked in, of course.)
