The Daily Teaser — 30-7-2014

Well … 

That’s another interview done with.

As you possibly know, I’m job hunting: and had an interview, on Friday, for a demonstrator’s job in Basildon.

And I had another — a phone interview —  yesterday.

Although whether I’ll end up bagging a second interview as a result, I don’t know.

And on top of all this … ?

On top of all this, I’ve another interview, today: at four-fifteen, at my local Job Centre.

For a local bookies.

Here’s hoping SOMETHING comes up.

My finances aren’t exactly a barrel of roubles, at the moment … !
