My ear hurts. I think I might have otitis externa. An external ear infection. Swimmer's ear, if you will. I don't recall swimming lately, but who knows? Anyway, it feels like there's something in my ear pressing on my eardrum, and I think it's spread to the tissue around my TMJ; my jaw is killing me too.
Otitis externa is typically caused by damaging the thin, delicate skin of the outer ear. Using cotton swabs and the like. In my case, it's likely caused by my in-ear monitors. I need to find the other fitting things for them; the ones I have on aren't working, it seems. I'll have to get some soft ones.
Maybe I'll make some custom silicone ones that are molded to my ears.
It's always the right ear. Why the right ear? It's the left-side monitor that feels like it doesn't fit right!
Anyway...ow! If it still hurts tomorrow, maybe I'll get to the doctor.

The interview was, yes was, with a big oil company (I clean their messes). I just got the e-mail that said I didn't make the cut. All the stress and nothing to show for it.
