My 27th
Late yesterday afternoon DC picked me up and we went to GS' office. We just sat there talking about the case. I don't even think I needed to be there, and started feeling guilty because I was coughing and didn't want to pass on any germs.
Today I went to drop off my car for servicing. The guy seemed really friendly as he asked for any problems I may have had with the car. I did think it was a little odd, but dismissed it as my own paranoia and him being just a nice person.
I walked home and then DC picked me up to go to work. I had to accept a lift from him because he had the 25 folders in his car and needed help with them. God they were heavy. I was half struggling with it as we walked from the car park to the court building. I wondered whether I would've still been able to carry it if I was not a gym person.
I spent the minutes leading up to the start of court doing last minute adjustments to the folders, and even had to ask GS to give one to the Crown because I was too busy.
When I went upstairs to court GS said someone from the Crown wanted to talk to me about it so I went up to Elizabeth and she seemed upset that I had sent the email detailing the amendments at 1am on Sunday. I had noticed the hot para looking at me as I walked past and she was still watching me. I could feel my face blush as Libby expressed her frustration.
In hindsight, I could've said that: 1) I couldeither email it Sunday 1am or Monday 8am - take your pick; and 2) her barista had sent a thank you email in reply so it's obvious they received it with at least 24 hours notice.
I tried to tell myself to stop blushing, and even told myself not to care about the hot para anymore because she was obviously on the other side and couldn't sympathise with the viewpoints of the defence. I heard her laughing as she talked to another female sol from their side.
We didn't sit very long at all because apparently one of the accused is suspected of having the swine flu. This got alarm bells ringing in my head.
Did I have it? Had I passed it onto him? Or maybe I could've caught it from him? Fucking hell, I knew my year was going to get worse. If I wasn't going to die from AIDS, I was going to die from the swine flu.
After we finished, we talked a bit with the computer guy and then I went to the medical centre nearby. Is aw Ren Ren there and we had a bit of a chat. I did my swabs and then went back to court to do some work.
DC gave me a lift back. He offered to drive me to the car dealership to pick up my car but I said I needed to go home first to get some money off my mom and he suggested lending me his money. I was totally against that so I kept saying no, and then he deliberately forgot to turn into my home and went straight to the dealership. He waited for me while I paid, and luckily I had enough.
Two points:
1) Although I accept that he's a nice guy, I think he's being too nice and it's becoming a bit suss. Is he trying to get me onto his side for political purposes to use against GS? The other thing about being too nice is that, it becomes a lot easier for someone to not respect you.
2) No wonder the car dealership guy was being so nice. The more problems I specified, the more reasons they had to 'fix' things and charge me for it. Like, I wanted my volume button on the steering wheel fixed, but I didn't know it was going to be $250! They said they couldn't just replace the button - they had to replace the whole thing. Fucking hell. And then I had to get a new rear tyre because it was deflating a lot faster than usual and turned out there was a puncture in it.
So now I see it - they get you to buy their cars and sign you up on their agreement, which contracts you to give your car to them for periodic servicing and each time you go, they try to make as much money off you as possible.
It makes so much sense now! Why didn't I think of it before? Lack of life experience I suppose. But now I know.
After that I went home, then headed out to the shopping centre near me, intending to try out that nachos fries shop and maybe watch Transformers again. The food court was closed so I just had Macca's, and then I bought myself a ticket to Transformers and a medium popcorn and coke.
As good as the movie is, I think it was too soon after my first viewing, and I suspected this even before I bought the ticket. I think it would've been better if I had waited about a week before seeing it again. But eh, it was my birthday, and I allowed myself to do whatever I wanted (except gambling and whoring).
After the movie I went home and had dinner with mom and sister.
