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.
-
That was possibly my most challenging day at #work yet. Not in a good way.

Ah, so you will have read my monograph entitled "Monty Python's Monkey's Bum: Towards a Theory of Brucean Heteronormative Antipodean Thermodynamic Discourse." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh66yZj3qlk Looking forward to a week of walking to and from #work in this #weather. #AU

Black pudding, beetroot, broccoli and poached egg. Best packed lunch ever. #work

Turned down some #work today because I'm supposed to be waiting for an electrician. He won't turn up. They never do. Actually, I'm just still slightly tipsy from last night. Drinking my way out of it, hammering away on my laptop out in the garden, eating pineapple. One of those Hunter S. Thompson kind of days. I need some Hawaiian shirts. And a long cigarette holder, a crate of beer, a few quarts of rum, a kilo of coke, some mescalin, cannabis resin, LSD, ether, a loaded revolver, and a Cadillac convertible. Essential tools for a dangerous world still teeming with Nixon-era ratf***ers like Roger Stone. #Gonzo

Oh, my. Think I've accumulated some sleep debt over the festive season. Tried to catch up on #reading, but couldn't keep my eyes open this morning. Finally went to bed for a nap, and the phone went off. #Work. I don't see how I can do this, but I can't afford not to. Lovely Sunday casual rates. I don't know if essential tremor is known to be exacerbated by exhaustion, but by the time I got home I couldn't raise a glass to my lips single-handed, and could barely type, which really fecks up my standard evening winding-down routine. On the plus side, I was definitely excused cooking; piping hot sausages flying everywhere just will not do.

Not wanting to impose myself between two conversants at #work today, I (over-)reached behind one for a carton of soft drink cans. Didn't quite get the required purchase on it and it fell to the floor, rupturing one can which turned into a spectacular geyser. As everybody around leapt back, I leapt forward to damp it down; the Red Adair of sugary beverages. So at least I can say I copped more of it than anyone else. "Goodness @mjd, what little remains of your hair looks particularly glossy and vibrant. What's your secret?" "Ginger beer, my dear. But keep it to yourself. [wink]"

At #work this morning a little old lady with poor eyesight asked for assistance in tearing a bag off a roll of plastic bags. "You can't see the join," she said. It took every ounce of self-control in me to resist slapping her on the cheeks and remarking upon her short fat hairy legs. #MorecambeAndWise #catchphrase

Big day at #work today. I know from past experience that you can be brain tired without being body tired. I had hoped, with an intellectually undemanding job, the reverse would apply, and I could get lots of brainy stuff done after hours. Nope. Turns out your body takes your brain down with it. Blasted body; a millstone round my neck my whole life.

You know you've had a hard shift when your feet are covered with bits of disintegrated sock. I'm banjaxed. #work

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.
