Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th October, 2022.

6th October, 2022.

It’s Thursday: and, yes, I’m up, early again.

Yes, you’re right: I’ve another podiatrist’s appointment ay Brentwood Hospital’s Badger Ward.

This one … ?

Is very specifically about my left foot: which is definitely wonky.

Hopefully?

We’ll be able to do something about it.

~≈§≈~

I had an interview, yesterday: by video call.

It went well enough.

Apparently, I’ve got the job: providing I successfully complete an assessment.

One which is due to arrive in my inbox any time up to 13:00, tomorrow.

I’ve also been asked for my NI number and passport.

Which sounds like I’ve been definitely successful.

However?   I’ve asked if I can delay that: until I’ve successfully passed the assessment.

I’d rather guarantee I’ve got the job: before handing over details, prematurely.

~≈§≈~

Before I forget … ?

I’ve finally managed to catch a movie.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage, so you know.

Feel free to like and share the video version … !

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Oh, it was a job and a half, Olga.   Cleaning the kit, afterwards, wasn’t easy, either!   If nothing else, the bowl was enormous.

        Those wood ovens do look good.   But the Pizza Hut I worked at had an industrial pizza cooker.   Basically?   It was like a grill … with a built in conveyor belt.   (I’m sure one of them is in Stranger Things 4: a good chunk of some episodes are in a pizza place!)

‡        Well … not the real world version, Debbi: it’s some sort of protein drink.   I don’t know what the protein is, now you mention it!

^        I think I caught bits of it on the news, Trevor: apparently, Dame Shirley refused to do the press conference … until she had her cape on!
