I have seen the future
It’s a shed lockplate in the shape of a pig. Yes, it’s pink. Saw it on the way to work this morning (how much more you notice when you walk in).
No, nothing more interesting happened to me today.
Wait – it did! I bought a crystal ball from a junk seller in the town. I said, “can you see the future in that thing?” and he squinted and said, “I see a five pound note.”

I think the junk seller saw you coming. Does that count?

You should have said you saw a slightly lesser amount or a door closing behind you.
Then again, I think they’re cool and would have just said oksy.
I love merchants with a good sense of humour.

Stoaty? I’m confoosed. Have you gone back to work for the outfit where you used to worK? I hope you have a pretty spot for your crystal ball.

They’ve only just advertized my job, Deborah. And once they pick someone, it’ll take me ages to train whomever. I’ll be there for a while.
I don’t have an important job, but I do hundreds of little things – paying invoices, fixing the printer, reading the meters. I’m basically a secretary/janitor.
I have been feeling free to leave early, when I can.
