Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd March, 2020.

23rd March, 2020.

I think we can say it, can’t we?

The corona virus has killed normality.

To an extent!

The UK is looking at assorted shades of lock down, panic buying and closures.

I know I’m going to go shopping later.

And am very aware the shops are going to be … either crowded or empty.

One of the two.

~≈¥≈~

I’m also very aware I’m jobhunting.

And, yesterday?   Put in an application for my local Iceland.

For one of what the company’s calling a ‘seasonal temporary worker.’

A shelf stacker, in other words: refilling the shelves, over night.

I didn’t get it.

A company who want’s shelf stackers, at a time when shelves need refilling, fast, and a man that wants a job … ?

And a man who ends ups not getting it … ?

It’s seriously screwed up.

The Daily Teaser — 23-3-2016

Right … ! 

That’s that done!

I don’t know about you, but I get a certain amount of help with my rent.

Frankly … ?

It’s what makes living in my flat affordable.

Just recently … ?   I’ve had my benefit reviewed: in light of the rent going up.

It’s still not to bad.

All I have to do know … ?   Is find the letter that tells me how much my rent actually IS … so I know how much to pay … !

Wouldn’t you know it … ?

The Daily Teaser — 23-3-2015

Right now … ?

Right now, I’m yawning my head off.

Frankly, I’m up early: after agreeing to do some overtime.

Which meant getting up at six, to get to work for eleven.

Oy yeh … !

Mad … ?

I don’t know.

Although I’m not turning down the overtime … … !

The Daily Teaser — 23-2-2015: Aluminium Alley

Oooh … 

That’s this year’s list of Oscar winners, is it … ?

As you might know, I’m a … well, not exactly a film fan.

But certainly someone who likes a movie.

So I tend to keep an eye on the Oscars winners: mostly out of interest.

I think my congratulations go to everyone who’s won, this year.   Although personally?

Personally, I’m disappointed to see The Imitation Game hasn’t done better: winning, as it did, just Best Adapted Screenplay.

It’s nice to see a Brit win the Best Actor gong, too: Eddie Redmayne for his portrayal of Professor Stephen Hawking.

Whether that makes Hawking’s work any easier for the layman to understand, I don’t know.

But it’s ALSO nice to see Julianne Moore bag Best Actress, for Still Alice: something I might want to check.

My grandmother suffered from Alzheimer’s.   I’m a huge fan of fellow sufferer, Sir Terry Pratchett.

An Oscar winning performance from Ms Moore, as someone diagnosed with an early onset form of the condition?

That’s something I’d like to see: as much as I’d like to see The Imitation Game.
