    @tregeagle Snap. My shift should have been cancelled. Within an hour the #work had run out and I was reduced to collecting and crushing cardboard. It needed to to be done, and it should be done more often because shopping in my gaff can feel rather like dumpster diving. But it made my regular job seem fascinating by comparison. Also, I got a paper cut. Stupid cardboard! I crush you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t4pmlHRokg

    @tregeagle One can never tell. People tell me I look healthy, so that's one data point. On the upside, I saw Roger at #work last week, and he's looking particularly chipper. I didn't like to inquire too closely, but he says he's treating his time as a bonus, given what he thought were his prospects not so long ago. Has vowed to do no more home renovation. Sounds like a healthy attitude.

    Octopus's Garden has been added to the #work muzak playlist. No! You can't make me hate Ringo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-BdGchS0yk #Beatles https://microblog.mjd.id.au/attachment/36080

    Knocked back #work today because I just physically needed the day off and some quiet. So of course F-bomb Freddy's going off again. Only 2pm and already shouting foul-mouthed abuse at people, to an incongruous soundtrack of laid-back 70s adult contemporary folk-rock. Roll on, post #Covid-19 real estate bust; need some cheap, obnoxious-bogan-free lodgings. #Aloha #Sawtell

    Social distancing is apparently over, by grassroots decree. There are so many punters pouring in at #work that I can barely take three steps without being asked for directions. It's positively claustrophobic. One lady apologised for being unfamiliar with the store layout because she ordinarily shops in town, but was driven out to the suburbs by the crush of shoppers there. No more exasperated conversations about toilet paper; we're suddenly back on to queries about exotic ingredients from bemused middle class recreational shoppers uncertainly stalking their prey like partially anaesthetised leopards. #covid-19

    At #work the other day: "Do you guys sell Fred?" Fred? What's Fred? An energy drink? A protein bar? A range of vegan convenience foods? "You know, like needle and fred."

    Seems like there's a grassroots consensus that #covid-19 lockdown is over. Wasn't quite a pre-crisis Saturday at #work today, but a lot of people with little concern over 1.5m spacing, and not a mask or glove to be seen.

    Last time I was at #work I was astonished to find we'd sold out of eggs. #WTF? The paradigmatic example of a food that doesn't keep, and goes off in the most disgusting way; who is hoarding this? https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/things-to-do-with-all-the-eggs-you-have-hoarded

    @tregeagle Got home from #work about 7:30am, looking forward to a kip. Half an hour later, some flouro jacket chaps started chainsawing a tree in the Beach Haven carpark and feeding it to a wood chipper, one branch at a time. Now lunchtime and they're still going.

    @andyc If the #work drought goes on much longer I may actually upgrade to #GNUSocial 2.x, developed and maintained by that one student. Stranger things have happened / are happening.

    @andyc This one was playing on the muzak at #work until indecently recently. I've never seen the video before. The shopping trolleys are a nice touch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIWgvL7tLfI

    Okay, maybe a reprieve. Apparently there are deliveries scheduled next week. Whether there will be any orders is up to the IT gods. I don't have a sacrificial chicken to hand, but later on I shall be burning a frozen chicken pie in the oven and praying for the website to be up by the end of the week. #work

    No #work this week, none next week, thence uncertain. Feck. Hello, #Centrelink; how I've missed you!

    Damn it. Spent three days adjusting my circadian rhythm to suit a 1am shift tonight, and it's been cancelled. Looks like it's going to be a lean few weeks at #work.

    Need to stay awake because shifts starting at 1am are a thing now at #work, and I have one in a couple of days, so I must recalibrate. Don't have a good track record with night work. Thankfully F-bomb Freddy at the far end of the landing and Pinky Tuscadero downstairs are engaged in a stereo war tonight. It's Total Eclipse of the Heart versus some generic heavy metal at the moment. Ordinarily I'd be annoyed, but since you can't get pseudoephedrine over the counter any more I'll take this instead.

    Another long day at #work, which is starting to resemble a Soviet supermarket. We wear ill-fitting red shirts and have many fine consumer goods, just not today the ones you need. Panic buying has snowballed from idiot #covid-19 doomsday preppers to people panicked by the idiots, to people panicked by the people panicked by… And so on, but for how long? https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/34631

    F-bomb Freddy is excelling himself today. I had a pre-dawn start at #work today, got home before lunchtime, and he was already blaring away some choice 70s acoustic folk-rock which has continued unabated for about eight hours so far (who knew there was so much of it?). I adjourned to the pub for a while, but I have neither the money nor the stamina to keep that up. At my wits end, but this is a seriously sketchy character that even a big chap like myself is not inclined to confront.

    And today's unexpected fit of #work brings me nearly, but not quite, up to a 40-hour week. Thank you, #coronavirus doomsday preppers, for all your deranged bulk purchases of loo paper, tissues, tinned fruit, pasta, anything with the word "antibacterial" - or indeed the prefix "anti" - on the packaging, flour, mosquito repellent, etc. As the saying goes, you have made a happy man feel very old. Keep your guns loaded, your billy on the boil, and your quixotic online purchases coming.
