The Daily Teaser — 16-9-2014: The O Zone

Hmmm … 

That seemed to go … oddly … 

I had an interview, yesterday: in Romford, so you know.

Which was … a bit … odd.

I think the interview went well enough, I think.

The company’s office, though … ?   Was chock full of new model Macs: not an problem, at least for me.

But about eight or so brand spanking new Macs: in an office in a converted flat above a independent supermarket, in an off the beaten track part of Romford … ?

That was odd, certainly.

The pay structure, on the other hand … ?   That was definitely off!   If I’d understood it correctly, we’d only get paid for the second ten hour shift … if we’d made a sale … 

Which sounded distinctly dubious … 

Here’s hoping the interview I’ve got today, in Chelmsford, is less dubious.   I could do with a job that pays regularly … !

I’ll leave you with this thought …

“So I’m going to go on and work on preserving the ozone layer, encouraging everyone to recycle.”

Dean Stockwell.

And this tune.

Well, it IS rather catchy … 

*        ‘Dark’ is definitely the term, Debbi!   (It’s one of Moffat’s better episodes, as well!)
