I created a database of several hundred entries of’ duties’ I do each week for my full-time employment.

Utilizing twitter under the handle of ‘mydailyjob’, I randomly send a job function that applies directly to my daily duties every 15-20 minutes as well as breaks such as “bathroom break”.

I also send tweets at 12:00pm and 1:00pm signaling my “lunch break” as well as when I return. At 8:00am each morning I “clock-in” and at 5:00pm each afternoon I “clock-out”. Tweets are sent this way each day from 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday.

This project experiments with the idea of a computer automated and randomized mirror of daily job activities.

The Twitter account can be viewed at:
