One of the hobbies of a cute kitten's convenience store clerk is bowling

I think about it even at work!

2025/11/8 Edited to

... Read more「コンビニ人間」って、真面目に働いてるはずなのに、ふと頭の中が別のことでいっぱいになる瞬間が刺さるんですよね。私もレジ前でニコニコしながら心の中では別の予定を組み立ててたりして、「いらっしゃいませ〜」と言いながら脳内は完全に別会場…みたいな日がありました。 この子猫店員Soraもまさにそれで、レジ打ちは完璧、バックヤードも任せて!って気持ちで働いてるのに、悩みは「バイトが忙しすぎてボウリングに行けない」こと。仕事モードに切り替えてるつもりでも、ストライクの感覚とか、投げるフォームとか、次はどう狙うか…って考えが勝手に湧いてくるの、すごくわかります。 私が「コンビニ人間っぽいな」と感じたのは、仕事中の自分が“役割”としてスイッチ入ってるところ。店員としての正解(丁寧な受け答え、早いレジ対応、ミスしない手順)をなぞっているのに、本当の自分は別のところにいる感じ。Soraも「いらっしゃいませー」と言いつつ、頭の中はボウリング。だけどそれってサボりじゃなくて、趣味があるからこそ仕事も踏ん張れるタイプなんだと思います。 忙しくて練習に行けないとき、私は“短時間でもできること”を作ってました。帰宅後にフォーム動画を見る、スコアの記録を見返す、次の目標をメモするだけでも気持ちがつながるんですよね。Soraも「終わったら練習を欠かさない」ってあるから、きっとシフト後の短い時間を大事にしてるはず。 それと、趣味のために働いてるのに、働きすぎて趣味が遠のく矛盾ってあります。そんな時は「今週は1ゲームだけでもOK」みたいにハードルを下げると続きます。モテるようになるまで…って目標があるなら、焦らずコツコツが一番。 仕事も趣味も両方やりたい人ほど、頭の中が忙しい。でもその“忙しさ”があるから、今日もがんばれる。Soraの「でも今日もがんばるにゃ」みたいに、まずは一日乗り切って、次のストライクにつなげたいです。

An image titled 'THE REAL COST OF CONVENIENCE' displays a map showing a 33-mile, 49-minute delivery route from Riverhead to East Patchogue for $14.01, including tip. Text below urges, 'If you can afford the luxury of delivery, respect the labor behind it. TIP WELL. TIP OFTEN.' Hashtags support gig workers.
📍THE REAL COST OF CONVENIENCE
📍The Real Cost of Convenience 🚗💨 33 miles. 49 minutes. $14.01. That’s the breakdown of this “exclusive delivery” offer—driving from Riverhead to Patchogue for a single food drop-off. That’s nearly an hour on the road and over 30 miles round-trip, all for just a bit more than a dollar every 3.
