Had to go into #work to tell the chap assembling the roster that I couldn't do Wednesday next week (and, tacitly, that I exist; nice but unexpected holiday I had last week). The smoke was all through the shopping mall. Could hardly see from one end to t'other. Lady in the off-licence said goodbye with "stay safe". Safe? I'm about to drink some of this cheap poisonous muck. Safety is a matter of degree. [*Cough*]

Doing the washing and cooking dinner at 11pm because #work. Not happy. Yes I made half the average week's income today but, unless I calm down, the dummy spit tomorrow might cause some unpleasantness. Plus, Everything Hurtz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls3OYPcUL1w

Not rostered on at #work for four days in a row. On the one hand, getting called in would be good for my bank balance, but on the other hand, the hand I slammed in between two trolleys yesterday, a long rest would be nice. Ow, that smarts.

I'm off too. Of course I have more work to do at home than at #work. Just dragged the old hot water tank out of the cellar. Will be dropping it at the scrapyard after lunch. May drop by
-
Absolutely shattered. Day off #work tomorrow. Think I might give my todo list the day off as well, and just snooze.
-
Fuck. I'm having a morning break. This is unheard of. I'm not sure what to do. Sit, drink coffee and... er... look at my phone? #smoko #croust #work
-
What a lovely day, sunshine and birdsong. A day full of promise. Unfortunately I shall be at work. Who wants to play hooky? #skive #work

Woo-hoo! Daylight saving starts in a week. #Kitty will wake me an hour later for breakfast! I get to walk home from #work in daylight! https://www.nsw.gov.au/about-new-south-wales/daylight-savings/
-
I've been dying for a full day off #work for ages. Two o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm bored now.
-
Sigh... back to #work.
-
8 hours at #work today. Shattered. Really must get a pedometer app or something to measure the number of steps I take per hour. Can't begin to imagine a way to measure the number of kilograms I lift/push.
-
Well, that was painful. After playing whack-a-mole with all the redundant processes, executables, /etc/cron* entries, etc., a bash script to stomp on the lot and immediately reboot for good measure saw off the script kiddies in time for #work today.

Been hors de combat for much of the week due to the minor ailments I gather round to shield me from any major ones, but just had six hours of lovely Sunday pay rate to make up for it. Walking home after dark I had an enormous bat (flying fox) wheeling round me, with a wingspan which seemed comparable to that of a pelican. They're chattering away all round my flat right now. That's a first day of spring for you. Life is good. #Sawtell #work
-
Unexpected bills on Monday rattled me. Realised that if Kitty needs a vet before #work picks up in the spring, I'll be borked. Applied for poor man's insurance, aka credit card, for the first time in my life. Will. Not. Use.
-
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.
