Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18-9-2016

Oh, for heavens sake … !

You’ve heard the phrase ‘ear-worm,’ yes?

Basically?

It means the song that — for whatever reason — starts playing its way through your head.

Ever since I’ve woken up?

This has been stuck in there … 

Why?

Well, I don’t know.

If I DID … ?   That would possibly make me rich!

~≈†≈~

In other news?

In other news, I had an interview, yesterday: for a job in Billericay.

And, unfortunately?

Unfortunately, I didn’t get the job.

I did, however, get some helpful feedback: apparently, there was a question I’d misunderstood.

Now I think of it?

I just wish I’d asked which bloody question!

Every little helps … but even so … 

~≈†≈~

But let’s move on, shall we?

Grey Owl, September 18, 1888 – April 13, 1938.

And this song … 

Have a good day.

Personally?

I’m going to do more online job-hunting: I’ve had a hint or two … 

*        Cheers, Olga: It’s appreciated!   At least this morning, I can say two out of three jobs have been in touch with me to say I hadn’t got the job.  But at least I’d got the call!   I can move forward, with some handy feedback.   Here’s hoping the hiring event I go to on Tuesday goes … more positively.

†        Glad to hear it, Debbi!   (Did I tell you what got me reading TP?   It was a bit of the blurb on the back of the paperback, back in the day.   It said that the story took place on “a flat world, on the back of a giant turtle. (Sex, unknown.)”   That ‘Sex, unknown,’ the daft logic of it, caught me.   After all … what happens to the disc … at mating time … ?)
