7th September, 2018.
Yep: it’s payday.
And yep: I’m officially wondering how long the cash is actually going to last.
It’s always the way, isn’t it … ?
At ANY rate … ?
I THINK I’m better off than British Airways.
They’ve just had a huge amount of customer data stolen.
Someone’s going to get fined.
~≈§≈~
Either way … ?
Either way, I’m looking forward to Monday: that’s my next day off.
Frankly?
I’m looking to that: AND to when the pay rise kicks in.
~≈§≈~
Let’s move on, shall we?

“Yeah, the industry has always been both the enemy and the best friend of the artist. They need each other. That’s the bottom line.”Chrissie Hynde, born September 7, 1951.
And a song …
Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.
Have a good day.
* Oh, there’s dates, Olga‡: thankfully, I usually have Sunday nights off, which is handy. And I know what you mean about trains. I always keep an eye peeled for job opportunities: and, most of the time, the public transport’s a big influencing factor. I get the feeling that Spain — being the size it is — has more of a frequency issue.
† I bet … ! :D At any rate, Debbi‡, I’ve done a little double checking, and BBC America will be airing Dr Who on 7th October: the same day as the UK. Weirdly? They ALSO airing The X Files, as well. I think it’s on Channel Four, over here. There’s a lot of weird US food days. Might be handy: makes an alternative to obscure saints … (You can tell Chrissie Hynde spent time in the UK: ‘feeling minted,’ having some spending cash? That’s old UK slang … !)

I heard about BA. It's been years since I've flown with them and I don't think I've ever bought a flight from them directly but... Oh, I haven't checked recently, but I think the trains in Spain tend to be fairly punctual (people are very aware that they can get refunds of 50% for half an hour delay in long-distance trains. We left with a delay on our way to Barcelona but got there on time, I must tell you).But you're right about frequency, in certain areas. I guess it's the same in the UK. Small train stations are dismantled or automatised and certain routes disappear...
I don't use Blogger. It's a bit clunky compared to Wordpress.
