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.

Had an absolutely brilliant day at #work today, and got home, tired but happy, to find on the kitchen counter, from the estate agent, a notice to vacate letter. F*** you, you f***ing f***s! You can't let me have one nice day where I feel like a valued member of society without reminding me that I'm powerless and, from the perspective of the powerful, worthless. To paraphrase John Lennon, how do you sleep, you c***s? I may not know where I'm going to be doing it a month or two from now, but I sleep very f***ing soundly for somebody as morally compromised as I am, but not remotely at the level of a landlord or estate agent.

Weird thing about being a long-term casual employee is you get a kind of Stockholm Syndrome. When you're sent home early or have a shift canceled you don't think about the lost income, you're just glad everything's running smoothly without you. #work

My week has been exhausting. We are always short staffed and getting out before 7pm every night has been a challenge. If people were not actually mortally challenged it'd be so much easier to meet for a beer #work
-
Gah! My phone has died. Plugged it in to recharge. It didn't recharge, but got _very_ hot. The battery has developed an unsightly bulge in the middle (as have we all). A replacement battery would be less than $US10 from your online marketplace platform of choice, but wouldn't arrive till the end of the month at earliest. I could wait, were it not for #work. Preparing to be gouged at my local mall tomorrow…
-
First canceled shift of 2019. I see the interminable winter lull on the horizon, despite the 30℃ weather. #work
-
Knocked back some #work this afternoon. I just need two days off in a row, for the first time in ages, to catch up on the extra-curricular. Only mildly guilty (so far).
-
Started catching up on extracurricular #work this afternoon. Sill going at midnight. Powering through on a Hunter S. Thompson strategy, estimating alcohol consumption by measuring ice consumption. The medieval Persian philosopher Avicenna apparently employed similar methods to enable work through the night, with rather more success than Dr. Gonzo.
-
6am start, 7 hours #work, and a walk home in my bloody crippling safety shoes, because last week the manager caught me wearing something marginally less crippling. I'm knackered.
-
First day off since Monday. Have the #work musak stuck in my head.
-
@tregeagle I can't even begin to imagine what "challenging" implies in your #work context. You're doing serious stuff rather than talking up your latest game-changing app at a business networking meeting, and that is admirable.
