Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th September, 2020

5th September, 2020.


Right … I suffer with depression: as you may or may not know.

And have to admit, I’m feeling a touch better, today.

Confession?   Is possibly good for the soul.

Either way … ?

I have to admit to watching TV, last night: the most recent episode of The Mandalorian: called The Reckoning.

You have to love an episode with a cliffhanger.

Do you follow the news, at all?

I do: and I’m very aware the the protest movement, Extinction Rebellion, is hitting headlines.

Again.

Just as a word of warning.   I like ER’s aims … but I’m very aware some of their tactics stink.

Late last year, one protestor tried to make a point: preventing a train leaving Canning Town station, and getting a kicking, as a result.


I normally don’t advocate violence.

But, frankly?   I’ve been a commuter.

If you’re some silly bloody idiot stopping me get to work — or, just as importantly, get home — you deserve that kicking.

Like I say, I’m sympathetic to their aims, just not necessarily their methods.

They seem to have improved, somewhat.

Today the BBC News tells us that ER protestors are blockading various News UK sites.

That I can approve of, to an extent.

But … ?

I imagine News UK will be getting its product out, via their websites.

Quite what ER are planning, there, I don’t know.

The various papers’ sites are still up.

The Daily Teaser — 5-9-2014

Hmmm … 

That seemed to go well enough … 

If you remember yesterday’s Teaser, I was off to an open day for the unemployed: at a local supermarket.

Well … I say Open Day.

Frankly, it was more of an informal day: to go over interview technique, and review CVs.

Something I know I’ve done before: and can get nasty about such things, if I’m in a cynical mood.

But it does help to keep reviewing these things.

And it did, at least, clue me — and the other five people there — up to how the supermarket’s recruitment website works.

Which is always handy.
