1. I've considered it, but I had a clean dental bill of health not long before it started. If there's anything dental that's causing it, it had a very sudden and very subtle appearance.

2. I don't think it's a good thing that I do good work and so get dumped on. I consider that some justifiable grounds for irritation, especially because the stress IS really, really grinding me down.

3. I'm hoping for a promotion in March, but I've pretty much been told it won't happen because it's decided by someone with no connection to any of this.
