Today I decided to mix things up a little. I started work at 9a.m. and for the first time I was working at Melbourne Central, so the time that I usually take to check my notifications in the morning was overrode by my desperate need for the rare commodity of sleep. I fumbled onto the 7:34 train at Dandenong Station and plugged my headphones into my ears and hit play on my Spotify playlist. I arrived at work and only took the time to check my social media notifications on my morning tea break, by which time they had doubled. I went onto Instagram and took a Boomerang of the LUSH Melbourne Central store, letting my followers know that I was working there and to come down and say hello.   

I took the Boomerang with my iPhone 7 and uploaded it to my Instagram story as a means of distribution. I only posted it to Instagram as I’m only followed by people on there whom I’d actually like to come see me at work, instead of having strangers show up to my workplace. I added my location to the GIF, which is a feature on the app as well.

Retrospectively, today I was short on time and wasn’t necessarily able to actively engage with online media in the way that I generally would.
