Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26-9-2016

Yay … 

I’ve got another interview, today!

And another one on Wednesday!

But you already knew that, didn’t you … ?

Frankly?

Frankly, I’m looking forward to both.

But right here, and now?

Right here and now, I’ve got the feeling that I’m in for the long, slow slog.

Most of the interviews I’ve had?   Have been as a result of the initial rush of running around, posting CVs through doors.

That’s slowing down: money’s obviously shorter than it was.

Right now?

‘Slog,’ is about the size of it.

Which reminds me … 

A couple of potential employers — Sainsburys and Aldi are the two big offenders, off the top of my head — use various shades of online testing.

Those two spring to mind as they use similar ones.

Basically?   They give you four options: you have to pick the best choice, and the worst.

Apparently?

I did badly on both: and got told I’d not be taken through to the next stage: that of an interview.

I can understand why companies do it: they want to filter out no hopers.

But … ?

Frankly, it’s depressing: and gets me wondering if there’s anywhere online I can practice these things.

The Daily Teaser — 26-9-2015

Well, THAT’S an embarrassment … !

Doubly so, in fact … !

Not only have I not made a slideshow for today’s Teaser — something I’ve done religiously for year — but I’ve found out what’s caused the problem with my monitor: after buying a new one … !

First off, the slideshow … ?   Sorry about that, but I managed to miss making it, in the midst of doing a large batch of them.


The other embarrassment … ?   The monitor?   Remember me saying, yesterday, that I was getting some weird ghosting?   Static … ?

Turns out it was caused by interference from an internal drive that I have: one plugged into an enclosure, that I’m intent on using as overspill storage.

Realising that turning the thing off, when I’m not using it, means no static on my second monitor is a good thing.   It’s just a  shame I realised that after I’ve gone and bought a new one.

Cie la vie!

Now, before I move on … ?   Does anyone need a new monitor … ?
