Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-10-2018: World Post Day

9th October, 2018.

Yes: I’m off, again, today.

And, as relaxing as that can be?

It’s not necessarily something I want.

Given the shifts, at the moment?

It’s unpaid holiday.

Yes, I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for other employment.

But … 

Well … it’s frustrating.

~≈§≈~

Right now … ?

I’m looking at a news piece on the BBC’s website: that Google are to cancel their Google+ social network.

After a data breach affected it.

Apparently?

Some 500, 00 people had private data exposed.

It’s be a shame to see it go.

It’s a handy way of advertising the blog.

On the other hand … ?

Google’s just dropped the ball.

Even further than you’d think.

It seems they knew about it since March …

The Man in the High Castle — Series 3 — Episodes 1 and 2: Now More Than Ever, We Care About You and Imagine Manchuria

8th October, 2018.

You know, I’ve had time off … 

I like time off: PAID time off, that is.

Work, at the moment is complicated: and has given me very few shifts.

Last week … ?   I managed to use up a lot of holiday time, let’s put it that way.

Next week … ?   And this week … ?

Well, I suspect I may have to take some very good advise I’ve had, And start looking at giving either the Citizen’s Advise Bureau or ACAS a call.

Just to see what they can say.

~≈§≈~

At any rate … ?

That amount of time of time off has done one thing … 

Well … a couple of things.

Job-hunt, obviously.

Catching up with a few movies, last week.

This week … ?

Given it’s a new — ish — release?

The third season of Amazon Prime’s The Man in the High Castle.

It’s easy to forget quite how disturbing it could be …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th October, 2018

8th October, 2018.

Yep: I’m up late.

I HATE getting up late!

OK, I’ve another day off, today: so it’s not as if I need to be anywhere, sharpish.

But still … 

~≈§≈~

In other parts of the world … ?

I got to see The Woman Who Fell To Earth, Jodie Whittaker’s first episode of Doctor Who, last night.

I think I’m with everyone else.

She’s great!

So good, I’ve got The Woman Who Fell To Earth on in the background … 

For the third viewing.

Dr Who — Series 11: Episode 1 — The Woman Who Fell to Earth

7th October, 2018.

*Spoilers*

I’m gibbering excitedly, right now.

As you’ve seen the intros you’ll possibly realise that’s … not necessarily a good thing!

I mean … I’m not EXACTLY Mr Handsome.

Unless you’ve got some very specialised interests!

At any rate … ?

It’s a Sunday night, it’s the 7th October, and the airdate for the opening episode of Jodie Whittaker’s first episode as the Thirteenth Doctor.

Yes: ‘She’ll do.’

Yes, that’s possibly terse … 

But …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th October, 2018.

7th October, 2018.

Right: it’s officially official.

And just in case you’re wondering?

Season three of The Man In The High Castle is now out.

I’m looking forward to that.

And, given I’ve time off, next week?

Plenty of time to watch it.

Although, frankly?   I’ve half a ton of movies in the collection I’ve not seen.

I’d like to catch them, too.

~≈§≈~

Saying that?

Saying that, it’s Sunday, it’s the 7th October … 

And the airdate for the new series of Dr Who.

The first with Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor.

Personally?   I’m looking forward to that.

I’m also VERY aware there’s been a lot of discussion online.

With a few airing the view her casting would destroy the show.

From the little I know?

About a year or so back, the BBC have managed to sell the next five years worth of the show to various networks in China: guaranteeing funding for years to come.

Destroyed?

I doubt it.

I think we can say it’s doing well.

Here’s looking forward to tonight.
