The Daily Teaser — 10-12-2013: Human Rights Day

Righty-ho: it’s now officially Tuesday.

Which is possibly the most pointless phrase I’ve ever written.

But you take my point.

It’s Tuesday.

Which, for me, means a little, light shopping.

And back to the job-hunting grind.

Not that I’m complaining that much: if nothing else, there’s a couple of places in Brentwood High Street that I can put my CV into.   I can kill two birds with one stone, to use the old phrase.

Whether it actually leads to an interview … ?

Well, that’s a whole other question … !!

Let’s get moving on, shall we?

Enjoy your day.

*        Do you know how to do screenshots, Debbi … ?   (You need to press the PrntScn button, that’s up near the Page Up/Page Down/Back/Forward buttons.   That’ll take a screenshot , and add it to the clipboard.   THEN you have to open something like MS Paint, and copy the picture into a new window, and save it as usual.)   It’d be handy to let me see what’s going on.   What I suspect is happening, though, is simply that you need to update your copy of Firefox: this page tells you how.
