Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th February, 2019.

27th February, 2019.

Well … 

That seemed to go well.

As you may or may not know, I had an interview, yesterday.

For a call Centre job at Romford Magistrate Court, one I was nervous about … and one I really did not want to go to.

Nervous … possibly doesn’t even start … 

However … ?

It seemed to go well enough … but I’ll find out once the vetting’s done …

Oh, remember, many years ago, I wrote about what I then called the Comantra Scam*: where someone phones up — claiming to be from a reputable company — and claims you have an issue with your PC.   They’s also called a Technical Support scam.

Then cons you out of your hard earned cash, by spending it on useless software: or by conning you into handing remote control or you machine … THEN selling you useless software …

Well, I’ve just had another call: from someone claiming to be from the BT Technical Department.

I’m thankful I know about these things.

I’m thankful I’m aware these calls usually seem to happen early in the morning.

I’m thankful I managed to confuse the HELL out of the woman who called me.

Asking her if it had anything to do with my gibbon seemed to confuse the daylights out of her …

The Daily Teaser — 27-2-2015

Hmmm … 

That’s a worry … 

You know I’m now working, don’t you?

Although I’m on a low income, as I’m working part time.

And, as such?   As such, I can still claim housing benefit: help towards my rent, in other words.

I also have to let my local council — who administrate the benefit — know, whenever it changes.

I last did that, a few weeks ago: by talking in my last batch of pay slips, in order to show I’d had a reduction in hours.

I got told I’d hear, with-in about three weeks, what would be happening.

And haven’t, as yet, heard back.

That’s … mildly concerning, I must admit.   I’m assuming any delay is due to the changes introduced, under the government’s Universal Credits scheme,

But … ?   Well, the ‘but’ is simple.   But I don’t know know for sure.   And am mildly concerned at having heard nothing.

It’s … annoying … !
