Day 696

Aka Thursday 27^th December 2018

Today I did a bit of job hunting. I updated my LinkedIn profile (is it me or does LinkedIn look really ‘busy’ and cluttered and non-user friendly?), checked LinkedIn, NHS jobs, the Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner and Southend Council for appropriate jobs and identified some to follow up...

…I also watched ‘State Of Play’ (the film, not the TV series), which was pretty damn good. Well written, directed, acted, set design, etc. and almost as good as the TV series, but I think that that is due to the TV series have more time to focus on the characters and for us to get to know them than the film had. 8/10. And I watched ‘Ouija: Origin Of Evil’ which nicely built the tension has the film progressed and while it wasn’t completely new and original, was a good scary movie, well written, directed, acted, set design, etc. 7/10.

…and I did the G2 Crossword:

…and today’s crossword has a bit of a dip as I had to cheat on a sixth of the clues (three out of 18), maybe I was put off by the slightly unchristmasy nature of some of the answers – ‘opiates’, ‘mainline’, ‘dregs’, ‘sleep around’ and ‘Judas’ – makes me worry about the crossword setter.
