The Arrivals Lounge

Do I? Should I?

Every time I think I can be out of questions, I find myself wondering, deadpan, rolling my eyes, “Where’s the next one coming from.”

Isn’t it coming from inside the house?

I guess I ought to say hello here? I was never a regular of part of the lounge on the other board, so it almost feels like I’m crashing. But it seems something I did earned me some kind of invite, and who am I not to appreciate something like that! So here I am, at least taking a look.

Welcome, @chenille, to the top secret speakeasy. Kick back, relax, enjoy the company.

Bartender needs a bit of practice, though.

Yup. Needs to center that bottle over my mouth, not a measly shot glass.

Bonjour, @chenille.

I’m not sure. If I had such a bottle, containing apparently infinite liquor, that might be how I’d pour too. Cheers!..um, as soon as they’re done with it.

Yesterday’s office:

That’s a site that was recently subject to a restoration burn; all of that greenery is only a month or so old.

Homalanthus populifolius, Polyscias sambucifolia, Acacia parramattensis, etc. Lovely stuff.

Today’s office:

Fucking leech-fest all week; working in wetlands during the rainy season. Got about a dozen unhealed bites on me right now, and for every one that got me there were a dozen that I spotted as they climbed on.

Had a tick in my beard yesterday, too.

Speaking of offices, there’s a chance mine could change soon.

I had a call from an old mate about a job managing a lab; it’s the sort of thing that would’ve been perfect before I got sick, but now…dunno. But he’s having a chat to his boss to see if they can work with my peculiarities.

If that doesn’t pan out, I’ve been thinking about getting a job riding one of these…
