Another Day In The Office
by Pop Shield
Wake up at 4am. Travel 40 miles in the dark. Arrive at work. Move some faders. Drink a lot of tea. Top Cat arrives 30 seconds before TX. Demonstrate to Vanilla Salt the talkback button. Sign News Shmu’s birthday card. Shake hands with the lovely actress Sally Jensen. Air kiss Top Cat’s unshaved beard. Harmonise on singing ‘happy birthday’ to News Shmu. Set up a vegetable spot FX mic for Waylon Wine. Rade up some ranting callers. Fade up some vegetables. Leave work.
On the way home, buy a newspaper for an old lady at the station. Watch old lady promptly blow the savings she has made on chocolate. Get my 4am-start-face stared at all the way home on the train by a strange woman, who seems fascinated by me for some reason. Get off train. Squint in the sunlight. Say hi to the cows. Wonder where this late summer suddenly came from. Get home. Get shouted at by the cat. Watch a movie. Is my life in any way normal?
