Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25th April, 2019.

25th April, 2019.

Right … I’ve got my regular fortnightly meeting with the Job centre, tomorrow.

At 10:30.   So I’ll be up and about early.

I know I’ve hand to pencil in at least one thing with my adviser.

I’ve had a couple of temp agencies sounding me out about three month temp contracts: doing the sort of work I was doing at my last job.

I’ve turned them down.

Partly because they wouldn’t necessarily cover my costs.

And partly because neither agency could guarantee they postings would last beyond those three months.

I’m going to have to ask my adviser if that’s OK …
