The title pretty much says it all.

This is the journal of Jane Brown. 
Each journal entry may be very short or very long. Entries may be close together or far apart. It depends on when and if Jane decides to or remembers to update her journal. If ever. Just like most of the non-diary or journal writer keepers out there - or uninspired authors. Yep.

Warning: VERY SLOOOW updates. This is a story written on a whim. Let's see how long the inspiration will last for. This style of writing is somewhat experimental.

Disclaimer: This is a work of FICTION and is not based on any one person. Any portrayal of real people or real events (excluding some major world events) is entirely accidental and coincidental. It is in not in any way, shape of form meant to be a commentary on anyone or anything, even less on current issues in society.

This is literally meant to be boring (hence the ordinary title) without being too boring. It is just about (and meant to be about) the average slow paced life and interests of an average person.

The aim is to keep this for general audiences and not go down the romance route, so that my little nieces and nephews can read this as an example of how to write rubbish - uh, I mean fiction. Unfortunately, my imagination and brain keep running away with the plot and taking it down the adult fiction route... So, sorry, my little nieces and nephews. You won't be reading this version of the story. No way. Your parents might decide to silence me and then you would no longer have a fun aunty to teach you useless knowledge.

The Mundane Journal Entries of an Ordinary Person

Weather: Hot, smoky with scattered showers.

A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month.

The bosses stayed home today, as did the rest of our office. With the thunderstorms and winds the previous few days, the bushfires got worse. Some even jumped the road or river and now there are more bushfires. The lightning also started another one out in the hills and many people are being evacuated.

As for me, I can only stay home and pray for those affected.

I couldn't watch TV while the bosses were working at home today and so I took my laptop out to do some work as well. Stony Boss glanced at me but didn't stop me.

After a morning's work, my Team Leader stopped me and informed me that management had signed me up for a few online courses. Instead of work, I would be taking my time to work through those various online courses and report to the floor manager where I was up to at the end of every week. Management wanted me upskilled in various areas.

I got so stuck into studying that I forgot about all else until my laptop was taken away and replaced with my meals. After a short meal and toilet break, I was allowed to continue studying.

The bosses also lost track of time in the evening. By the time we emerged from our work or study cocoons, it was past midnight. We blinked owly eyes at each other and shared a quick dinner of bread, salad and cheese with hot mugs of tea. And then we all stumbled off to bed.
