🥪+☕️: 3 Salamis Sandwich Deli, Essendon VIC
📕: “The Comedy Book” by Jesse David Fox
You remember that moment in the hit 2023 movie “Barbie” when Ken peels back from the saloon doors of his stolen mansion and screams “SUBLIME!” To himself? I’m getting that feeling now, but instead of the selfish revelation of finally wearing down the romantic resistance of Margot Robbie in my mystic, misogynistic “I’m Just Ken” horse powered oligarchy, my “SUBLIME!” is directed at this Italian sandwich and canned black coffee in my local park.
You get it, right? it’s pretty sublime. not the ants tho, I need to move off the grass pretty soon tbh.

as the old guy Kurt Vonnegut says:
"I go down the steps and my wife calls, “Where are you going?” “Well,” I say, “I’m going to buy an envelope.” And she says, “You’re not a poor man. Why don’t you buy a thousand envelopes? They’ll deliver them, and you can put them in the closet.” And I say, “Hush.”
So I go to this newsstand across the street where they sell magazines and lottery tickets and stationery. I have to get in line because there are people buying candy and all that sort of thing, and I talk to them. The woman behind the counter has a jewel between her eyes, and when it’s my turn, I ask her if there have been any big winners lately.
I get my envelope and seal it up and go to the postal convenience center down the block at the corner of Forty-seventh Street and Second Avenue, where I’m secretly in love with the woman behind the counter. I keep absolutely poker-faced; I never let her know how I feel about her. One time I had my pocket picked in there and got to meet a cop and tell him about it.
Anyway, I address the envelope to Carol in Woodstock. I stamp the envelope and mail it in a mailbox in front of the post office, and I go home.
And I’ve had a hell of a good time. I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you any different.”

After too many days and months in front line customer service, with the million open maws of a million screaming children, I’m moving back into an admin role where I’m working with ADULTS. What a rush! I’m celebrating my little career win with my homemade pour over black coffee on a sunny train platform.
Things might not be so bad after all.

a NF book I’m reading right now that I’m loving is “The Comedy Book” by Jesse David Fox, one if the biggest fans and experts on comedy as an art form, discussing and exploring how comedy should be treated as such. Deep and funny read for comedians and appreciators of comedians, two categories under which I fall under most of the time.
