The Alanna rapport

Took in my third frame today, my accounting degree. Hung it up in the morning, had a chat with Genie and then got to work. Alanna came in and had a chat with me about the list last Thursday at The Druitt, and we both whinged about the judge. She said she nearly made her cry and considered making a complaint.

I don't know why, but I feel like when we talk, it's like we're good friends who have known eachother for a long time, but the thing I've realised is, we haven't talked for one second about things outside of work, so it's been professional all along, but I just feel there's some really positive rapport there. It's like I can really relate to her, and I think she feels the same too.

I handed my second brief into her later on, and then got into working on replying to some reps. Shortly after that, Wendy came into my office to give me something similar, but which was due this Thursday back in court. She said it was Ruler's matter, and I just thought "goddamn part timers". Part time never works. It works for the person, but never for the office. It inevitably shifts work onto other people.

Katie was in today, but didn't see her. I think she and the other CT people went up to level 26 for some sort of meeting. Maybe that's what her friend was talking about?

When she came back, my plan was to wait for everyone in her area to go to lunch and then I'd approach when she was by herself - but then she went to lunch!

I ate my lunch in the office, and then went out for a walk at around the time she was supposed to be back (assuming she took all of one hour). I ended up buying a pack of lollies and when I returned I went to her area, thinking I'd use it to start a conversation,

Unfortunately only that Tim guy was there, and he droned on and on. I was hoping I could last until Katie came back, but I couldn't. One good thing though - he was wearing an engagement ring, so that kills my paranoia.

When I returned to my desk I saw that she had returned a few moments later. Grrrrrr.

I spent the rest of the day doing the file Wendy had given me and finished it, but haven't handed it in yet because she was leaving when I finished it, and also I want to have a look over it tomorrow.

At the end of the day I heard Tim talk to Maria about yum cha and catching a taxi there, and she asked who was going and he said whoever was on that list.

ZOMG is something being organised which Katie is going to?? INVITE ME!!!

I guess that would be a benefit of befriending Tim, if he was the guy who organises things like this.

After work I went home, changed, and went for a mile jog, then went to the gym.

I really wanna wear my vest tomorrow, because I'm feeling sooooo Joe Black =)
