Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd December, 2019

2nd December, 2019.


Right … I’m officially up early … !

Yay … 

It’s Monday, 2nd December, and I start my course … 

Just as a potted summary?   I’m job hunting at the moment.   And — if asked by the Job Centre — have to accept whatever form of help is felt to be needed.

I start mine, today: covering customer services, and other areas.

We’ll have to see how it goes.

And a song …


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

*        It sounds like something I could easily do, Olga: I think signing up for it would be good.   If you can mention it, for me … ?   I should be able to convert it, if needed: and read it on my phone, or the iMac, as needed!   Yep: I’m interested!

    Thanks, Pete. I'll keep you posted on the review front. And good luck with the course. I hope it proves useful (fingers crossed!). Oh, I love Britney's quote. Good grief! Really? Do they expect people to think? What has the world come to!

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
