Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th September, 2019

19th September, 2019.

Yes: I’m shaggy.

No: not that Shaggy!

I don’t speak Jamaican English that well.

No: I’m thinking that I need a haircut.

And think I’ve just enough cash to afford one.

~≈¥≈~

Oh, remember the interview I had, last week?

No, I’ve still not heard: one way or the other.

And frankly, don’t expect to.

However?

I have been contacted by one member of the company’s Human Resources department about it.

Apparently?

They’re going to look into it, and let me know.

Frankly, I’m sceptical about hearing anything further.

But, at least, I’ve had some sort of response.

~≈¥≈~

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        I’m looking forward to the next version of Chernobyl, Anne: I know that.   And go for it.   You’ve always come well, on camera: both confident and well turned out.   Don’t forget the panda, though!

†        I’ll be honest, Olga: I did about of phoning around, yesterday.   Yes: the meeting’s going to be at the new offices: I’ve messages from both sections to confirm it, and the central office has adding a a note to my file about it.   And quite a few other people’s files, as well.   Apparently, the Brentwood office is hearing quite a lot of this: as the central office is taking its time to make the change.   (That office sounds … complicated.   And possibly Prisoneresque: it and Paranoia relied on Kafkaesque!)

‡        It’s always the way, isn’t, Debbi?   We’re not as fit as we were … !   As my legs keep telling me.   Actually?   Boris — and the notably right wing Jacob Rees-Mogg — went to public school.   Apparently, Boris likes being called Ethel at weekends.   On a more serious note?   I think they’ve improved, since then.   They still have a reputation: but the do a good standard of education.   Which is why so many anti-public school Labour politicians like sending their kids to one.   Let me know if the video shows up … (Talking of video?   Someone get’s a mention in the Teaser video …)
