Hmmm …
I THINK that went well.
Possibly …
JUST so you know? I had an interview, yesterday.
Which seemed to go well enough.
Well enough for me to get the distinct impression I’m going to get a second interview.
Which frankly?
Sounds hopeful.
We’ll have to see, won’t we?
~≈É≈~
But let’s get a move on, shall we?
Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mr Strict and Debbi* putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.
Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?
Q1) Which country’s branch of the Anglican Church appointed an openly gay bishop: on 3rd August, 2003?
Q2) Tandy Corporation announced its TRS-80 range of computers. The processor it used was a what: 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit processor?
Q3) The BAA and the NBL completed their merger, to become the NBA: on 1949. Which very American sport do — or did — the three groups govern?
Q4) Niger gained its independence: on 3rd August, 1960. From which European country?
Q5) Finally … which European country declared itself neutral, during World War 1: on 3rd August, 1914?
Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …
Q1) 2nd August, 1932, saw Carl D. Anderson discovery the positron: the antimatter version of which particle?A1) The electron.
Q2) Which of the two particles has an electrical charge of -1?A2) The electron.
Q3) Who first theorized about the positron, in 1928: Paul Dirac, Albert Einstein or Nils Bohr?A3) Paul Dirac.
Q4) What’s the antimatter version of the proton?A4) The antiproton.
Q5) Finally … who invented (fictional) robots with positronic brains?A5) Isaac Asimov.
I’ll leave you with this thought …
“I’m a pilgrim trying to win my freedom and serve as best I can in the time I have, with this gift I’ve been given.”Martin Sheen, born 3rd August, 1940.
And this tune …
Have a good day!
* I HOPE so, Debbi! I think I’m in with a chance of a second interview! (Oh, the thought occurs: I can’t, off the top of my head, think of any South African snooker players. Strange thought for this time of the morning!)

I hope the second interview comes true, Paul. That job they were going to contact me about on Monday, well, they never did. Considering I hadn't even applied for the job I guess it's not surprising, but it was a lot of running around for nothing.
Be well.
Glad to hear it's looking up for a second interview! :) What was the job again. I know it involves sales, which I'm sure you'd excel at. What with your outgoing personality and all! :)
