Double ow

Sore throat and gum pain from the wisdom tooth that declines to erupt. Its flap of gum is prone to local infection/inflammation, in this case probably related to the sunflower seeds I've been cracking, sucking and munching like an old Chinese geezer. I'll live- saltwater gargles are the treatment- but it doesn't enthuse me to get the job app completed for deadline today.

Yesterday the internet gods took away my avatar, forcing me into a replacement whose colour balance was just wrong. I loathed it, but my zygote is back again. Thank you internet gods. Now please could you correct my job app so that it is no longer a rambling treatise incorporating stock phrases referring to my boundless 'enthusiasm', 'experience', 'team player', 'self-starter'. Eternally grateful, ion.

Later
Sabotage is the best word for it. Went out to get wine to inspire my job app and left without either my keys or my mobile. Have you any idea how few phone numbers are remembered at my age? H. keeps a copy of my key for her unannounced inspections, but no way of contacting her. Same for both kiddos. The only number I know off by heart is my folks', so I've been lurking by the BT phonebox while my mum and my keys were tracked down, then the key sent on by taxi express. Anyone would think I didn't even want a job after this waste of an hour.
