Double whammy

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.

My March 1st start date is becoming more and more exciting by the day….
