Actually, it doesn't feel quite as bad as it did yesterday - it was dreadful last night
The dentist doesn't do NHS work on Fridays. I'll have to call in the morning and hope they can fit me in, otherwise the next chance is Monday evening
Still, I suppose I should be glad I've actually got an NHS dentist, even if they only do NHS stuff part-time

I hope you get better soon - tooth ache comes and goes.
Tooth pain only similar to back pain for severity IMO - but that is just what I have had. get better soon.

Ah - boo. I missed the reply as I packed up and left the project in the lurch.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostI refer the honourable denizen to the reply I gave when he asked me that yesterday
I had an agent hounding me this week for my CV for a really juicy sounding role. Firstly it was meant to be a retained contractor role, so low rate to stay available, then more for working - great plan B opportunities. Then it changed to a work from home role - great plan B opportunities.
Kept on about when could I get a CV, and could I start next week....
So I updated the CV, tailored it for that particular role, stayed up late to do it, emailed it to him first thing yesterday morning.
SILENCE. Not even an acknowledgment.
Oh well - time for a break until the new year anyway.Comment
