Silent days

I had a really healthy day yesterday. Woke up, had a glass of orange juice, got some bread from the Asian bakery for breakfast, had my sandwich for lunch, grabbed an apple from the fruit markets and then milk at the end of the day. Pretty good huh?

At the train station to work, I bumped into Ares, and we talked a bit. I told him about my knee, hoping he would've had some similar experience, but unfortunately not. The closest he had was something like bone grinding against bone in his knee.

When I got off the train I bumped into that guy I met once at a YL meeting who works in my area. We had a small chat before we parted as I made my way for breakfast.

There was no court, so I spent the entire day by myself listening to telephone calls. So peaceful.

In the latter half of the day I started getting a bit panicky about the job application. I kept looking at my phone and checking it for any missed calls or messages. I messaged Bush asking if she knew of any news, and she called me moments later thinking I sent it because I got an offer. But nope, no one in her office had heard anything either. I suppose that's not exactly bad news.

I sent a message to Twish saying "End of June my ass" and later that night she sent me this long email in reply basically whinging about something and asking me for something work related.

At home I thought about going to the gym but felt that my shoulder blade was still sore. I even considered pushing on, but thought the better of it considering the current state of my body.

Today we had court for a bit. I stayed back after most people left and spent a considerable amount of stress on finding something for GS. Luckily I found it. I was so happy when I found it within the paperwork lying around on his desk.

In the afternoon I went to his office to drop some things off. We talked about the client's request to see us tomorrow, and I told him I suspected it had something to do with DC playing a bigger role, and GS just outright said no.

This all started (from what I know anyway) in the last conference when the client raised the issue and I suspect it was because of something DC had said to him. Why do I have that suspicion? Because DC once questioned whether GS was on top of the computer stuff, and also the client wasn't really asking for DC to play a bigger role, he just raised the issue and asked us to sort it out.

I really don't like how DC is playing these little political games. He's letting his ego come into the equation. What's wrong with just leaving things as it is? What's wrong with being patient and waiting your turn? Surely everyone should wait before their time comes? This is just part of a learning curve we're all in.

I don't want to get into the middle of all this, but if forced, I will side with GS. Not because he got me this job, but because it really doesn't add anything. It's always the senior one who takes the lead, with every team. What does giving DC a go achieve? On the flip side, because of his lesser experience, we'd be more exposed in terms of risks. And it's not like he hasn't been given nothing, he did get the telephone bit.

Shuing had asked me on Sunday whether I wanted to go speed dating with him. After some thinking I agreed, but then his friend tried to book for me and it was full. Today he messaged me saying he was sick and asked if I wanted to take his place. I didn't really want to go without him so I said no.

I had a bit of KFC in the city, then went home where I enjoyed a pie, orange juice and some chocolate moose while watching Seinfeld. Later on I went to the gym. Question whether I'm going now because of fitness, or if it's just become a place where I can be alone with my thoughts.

I was feeling a little bit athletic, so I feigned a slight jog and it was ok. I tried a little jump, and the take off was ok, but the soft landing hurt my knee. Ok, still not ready.

I thought a bit about my appointment with the knee surgeon on Friday. That will decide a lot.

And again, no call from the job application today either. It's silent days.
