6:45 – Alarm goes off. I reach out and switch it to the radio.
7:04 – Swear, get out of bed. Do the whole morning thing.
7:59 – Start breakfast while watching Sunrise for weather & news. Out the door by 8:09.
8:16 – At station waiting for 8:24 express to city.
9:15 – Log in to computers, read overnight email from London & NY. Catch up on bloglines.
9:45 – Start looking at work. Synchronise with overnight work from others, move into “work” mode
10:40ish – Get up, stretch, fill waterbottle, have small snack (still very much in the ‘Recess’ mindset).
12:23 – Update blog
12:56 – Leave desk for lunch
1:05 – Pay exorbitant price for sushi box, thinking “Hey, I haven’t sushi in a while…”
1:21 – Try to remember why it was so long between ordering sushi box for lunch. Ah, that’s right, because it doesn’t half fill me up.
1:24 – Order garlic bread/toast type thing. Walk away satisfied with salty, garlicy, buttery goodness.
1:34 – decide not much interested in sitting by the harbour with seagulls swooping all around me and return to work.
1:39 – Update blog.
3:15 – “Happy Hour” coffee, $1, not brilliant but does the job.
4:35 – crack Stupid Bug which has been occupying my time for the last day or so. Celebrate.
5:30 – Weekly update meeting thing. Realise there’s a lot of stuff to do yet.
6:10 – Update blog. Leave for home.
7:17 – Arrive home, consider what to cook.
7:25 – Reheat leftovers from the weekend. Suppress stomach growls while waiting for microwave with orange juice.
7:34 – Switch on Channel 10 for new show “Thank God you’re here”. I think it’s pretty funny actually, despite some slow moments. Improv is always funny for the fact that it’s so random.
8:36 – Switch between Spicks and Specks, House and The Movie Show (SBS). I eventually settle on Spicks and Specks because I feel like a laugh tonight.
9:04 – bored with house, I go sit on the net for a bit, catching up on forums and downloads.
9:31 – Go back to the TV to watch The Glass House.
9:37 – Remember I have to iron a shirt for tomorrow.
10:07 – pull out sofabed to have a lie down while watching At The Movies, since I didn’t end up watching The Movie Show. Always liked David & Margret better anyway.
1:22 (am) – wake up on the sofa bed, the sounds of the TV having intruded into my dreams. Groggily turn off TV, computer, lights, hit the bed.
End of Day.
dude.. best entry ever. a nice insight into your everyday life. maybe i’m just a simple person but i found this entry very interesting.
yeah its a pretty cool entry
tho it sounds like you don’t do much *ponders*
carry on
Rinse and repeat Karan?
But if that’s what work is like, we’re all screwed.
hahah oh dear, and I thought this was going to be totally not commentable.
esther, thanks… dunno, I did this for myself mostly, to reflect on what i do in the day.
chicky, I’ve left out the Gory Details because they’d bore the pants off of anyone.
zhi, it’s not quite rinse & repeat, but that is a typical Wednesday. I don’t know why you’d think we’re all screwed, because that’s what white-collar work is about dude.
yeah i tend to write lots of nonsensical stuff in the mornings when i’m only 20% awake
…then wait till you wake up?
just a suggestion >.>
Bit late to the party, as I lost your new site address.
This is a very good entry and could describe how my casual office job is like too, except I don’t go out for lunch or dare update my blog during work. You sure do update the blog alot during work hours!
hahah, I’ve got a lot of slack time when I’m waiting for things to compile (takes 2-3 minutes for a build, and 3-4 min to get the program going) so I snatch time inbetween. Plus, the “interrupt” theory of work applies, which says you get more stuff done if you shift your attention when you’ve gotten stuck on something… and the blog is just, like, right there =D
