beansideDay 3, face improving at a glacial speed. Today, the swelling is receding more, it's now localized right above the abscessed tooth. It's a little painful after talking all day yesterday so today is going to be fun. I have taken my antibiotics and ibuprofen for the morning, so we'll see how that goes.
Yesterday was annoying, and slightly painful, but I managed. I only did 35 calls, but part of the time was spent filling in a couple of cardiacs for Thursday. Hopefully today will be more of that, so that I can take it a bit easier.
Entertainingly, another of my job applications has progressed forward, but not the one I'm waiting on. I had applied to two in early January, but Hopkins HR team is slow as shit. So, we'll see how many jobs I can get in a short amount of time. It would be hilarious if I got all of them.
Hopefully, the other job, the one I want, will progress soon. That would be helpful.
My friend has not heard back about the job with my dept yet. Hopefully that also progresses soon. I'd like her to get it, I know it would be easier for her, especially now that Ikea wants people in the office 3 days a week. (Which is total bullshit, there's no reason except for micromanaging that they want to do this.) I honestly don't know where they're going to put that many people. Even if they spread them out, there's going to be one day a week where the full crew will be there, and that's going to be tight.
Me, I love my kitchen nook. I sit in the sun and do my work, and it's good. I don't have to wear pants if I don't want to. My "uniform" is leggings, socks and a t-shirt. If they're lucky, I brushed my hair. If not, then oh well. If they ask me to turn on my camera, they get what they get.
I used to get prettied up for meetings, put on a bra, and a nicer shirt. But the resolution is such on Teams that any finer details got lost, so now, it's come as you are. The only caveat is if I'm presenting something, then I may put on a nicer shirt and a bra, because then I figure that people are looking more closely at me.
I'm really tired of getting carry out, but I don't know what I can make that would be soft enough. Maybe if I baked the slab of ribs low and slow for a while, it would get soft. That's a possibility. We'll see.
I'm really, really hoping my mouth goes down so I can go to this work dinner. It's our holiday party, held at a Creole/Soul Food place. If it's mostly down, I'll probably go. As long as my mouth doesn't look like a chimpanzee.
It has been brought to my attention that today is a whole lot of holidays (thanksdine ). So, a blessed and easy fast this Ramadan, Happy Lunar New Year (yay Fire Horse!) and Happy Mardi Gras (Laissez les bons temps rouler."
I was going to get donuts for Fat Tuesday, but alas the store I was going to get them from closes at 5, and I don't think I can make it up by then as I get off at 4:30 and I'd need to gas along the way.
Maybe I'll order from Dunkin. They won't be as good, but they'll be donuts.
Okay, I shall now go forth and do some things. I've got a few more character sheets to make for the game this weekend. Though I'm not sure how much of what I have planned that we'll get into. The characters just came of a chaotic and painful mission. They deserve a little downtime and to restock on healing potions. Definitely to restock on healing potions.
They're getting ready to fight an Archfey. Jess sent me a stat block that I like, so I'm going to use that. They're particularly nasty. The fey calls himself the Lord of Blood, so you know he's a nice and reasonable guy.
Everyone have a perfectly delightful Tuesday!
