Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th January, 2022.

20th January, 2022.

Yep: I’ve got an early start, today!

Mostly … ?

Because I’ve got the second in a series of Zoom meetings: with a weight management service.

It’s ninety minutes long, I should add: something I found to be something of a chore, if I’m being honest.

The fact it’s a group setting should be useful: those always seem to be, from the little I’ve seen.

Here’s hoping.

~≈§≈~

Just as a thought … ?

I worked in a call centre, a few years ago: and left a while ago.

When I left … ?   I was being paid eleven pounds an hour.

As were some of the new starters: which possibly tells you something.

At any rate?

One of the job boards I’ve signed up for, sent me an advert for the same post.

At nine pounds an hour.

I ignored it.

But I’ll tell you what … 

Something’s gone on there … !
