I checked my gob in the mirror this morning, and it
turns out my painful bastard of an ulcer is actually two separate ulcers overlapping
each other. How is that even possible? No wonder my gum feels like someone’s scraped
a red-hot razor-sharp garden spade across it. I’ve been rinsing my mouth out
with salted water, which is ridiculously painful but strangely refreshing, and
I’m using Bonjela for the first time in years, but it’s still distractingly painful.
Don’t tell my current employers, but I’ve already
started doing little bits of work for Gavin and the holiday people. They’re
planning to relaunch their website before the end of the month so I’m just
re-writing a few bits for them to better reflect my plans for the future. I
haven’t made those plans yet, but maybe the act of writing a few bullet points
about them for the website will provoke my imagination to develop the ideas and
I’ll find myself swamped with inspiration.
It’s a weird situation, because we don’t know yet when the parks will be
allowed to re-open, and so we haven’t yet worked out who will be responsible
for what, but we’re having regular video meetings now and I’m getting to know
the management team a bit better. I like them all immensely. I’m used to
dealing with the inner workings of a huge national company, where everyone is
fighting each other to prove themselves to the faceless entities at Head Office,
whereas chats with Gavin and the team feel more like a family Zoom quiz. It’s a
small group and they obviously work well together, and care about each other,
and are working towards a common goal, rather than shitting all over each other
for brownie points, like in my current situation.
RC 2-2-21
My March 1st start date is becoming more and more
exciting by the day….
