Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-3-2019: Sterling Stuff

2nd March, 2019.

OK … it’s not often I use this sort of language in an intro video … 

But I’m not exactly what you call happy … 

No … 

Remember, a couple of weeks ago, I had an interview at BT’s Brentwood office?

Unless I’ve got it very wrong, I was due to be told, yesterday.

Did I hear a thing … ?

… 

… …

… … … 

No.

Yes: I know I started complaining about this, last night … 

But, if you tell a potential receipt you’re going to get in touch, one way or the other, to let them know if they’re hired or not … ?

You should.
