The Ugly Truth
As I walked out of the house yesterday, I felt this severe pain in my neck and left shoulder. Familiarity suddenly struck - it was the same type of pain I used to get after benchpressing. But how did I get it now? I hadn't done anything physical in ages. Maybe it was my sleeping position? Would that explain past pains as well?
Work was pretty chillaxing yesterday, did a hand over note for a second file. Andrew wanted to talk to me about the rostering, but that ended up bringing everyone around and it turned into a discussion about how unfair it was that Mark didn't get the TA position and that some guy from the outside got it.
In a way, I was glad I was leaving because this just demonstrated that the people up top don't value loyalty. Mark has been working for more than 20 years now, and they reward him by giving the position to someone external.
Also, as Ben said, Mark not getting the position meant that when Amina gets back, there will be no room for me. So maybe this was the right decision.
I brought my own sandwiches for lunch, and Peter asked why I was holding it so carefully (I was holding the plastic wrapper instead of the bread). That ended up starting a whole group conversation between me, him, Ben and Cox.
I left work at 4:30pm, went home and found Pandy working on a door. I told her about leaving, and she said it might be a good time to break the lease anyway because there were so many people interested. We had a bit of a talk about the prospective tenants, and she said she's decided to give it to two girls (ages 33 and 26) who will move in around the end of this month.
I knew it! Just my luck. I bet you they're hot, and I only get like a week with them. Far out.
I went out to buy a plate because I broke one in the morning while washing it (Kim had stayed on Monday night btw, and left again yesterday), then went to rent some videos. I planned to use the voucher to rent a new release and two weeklies, but turns out everything was $2 on Tuesdays!! No wonder there were so many people there.
I rented The Ugly Truth, The Shop Girl, and Simone. I watched The Ugly Truth over dinner, and it was a pretty damn funny movie. I guess I was in the mood for a romantic comedy. I like Gerard Butler, I think he's a good actor. How about that doctor? I wonder if I can ever get abs like him. Do girls actually like that type of guy?
