Avoid her tomorrow
Got to work just before 9am today, still feeling exhausted from the hearing.
I had to go to the bank, which opens at 9:30am, but waited till 10am just so I didn't bump into Katie and her friend going out for coffee, didn't want them to think I was following them.
At one point in the morning after that, I bumped into Katie as I was heading back to my office. At first we stood in her doorway and I just jokingly asked if she was busy, still prosecuting, sending people to jail, ruining people's lives. She just said yes to all of them, and then I figured I was being a bit too negative. So I changed the subject and said she had a lot of equipment, referring to her foot thing, and the two things she used to put briefs on to read.
At this point we walked further into her office, and I noticed she remained standing. She offered them to me, but I politely declined. We talked about her becoming short sighted from all the reading, and I teased her about how that meant she hadn't done any reading in uni, but she just gave a plain "yeah I did". I then asked how Newcastle was, and she said it was alright, and I picked up on the short response and wondered why she didn't elaborate. I confirmed that it was someone's 60th and said that was a long time. She said it wasn't that long, and I said I'd live to 40 and then "cark it", noting how the body breaks down. She said 40 was young.
I walked out and went back into my office to do some work. Later on I heard her walk into Heath's room and say hi.
What the?
I figured she was bored so she went to talk to him, but...why not come talk to me? Don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous or anything, because Heath is like 40 years old and bald, and married, but could it be that I'm right, and that she avoids me (or gives me this 'special' treatment) because she likes me??
I couldn't help but pretend to head to Alanna's office for her to sign something and walked past Heath's office, and saw Katie standing next to him looking out his window.
Heading towards lunch, I got a little bit sad realising that she'd just have lunch with her friend again, and that this was her so called "plans" to re-schedule my lunch offer. But then when they did go out to lunch, I saw her status as saying that she'd be heading to the LPAB afterwards.
So THAT was her plan!
And here I was going all paranoid...
I went to Heath's office and had a chat, and at one point we were laughing and I turned around to see Katie come back (presumably she had forgotten something). As she walked past me, she was looking at me with a smile. It seemed like she somehow enjoyed watching me laugh with Heath.
I had lunch in the office, but spent a bit of time in Heath's office watching his tape of our CLE thing, and then Turk joined in and we all stood there and talked for a while. I got tired of it soon, thinking it didn't look good that we (or I) were standing around talking so much.
In the afternoon, I was curious as to why Katie had to go to the LPAB, and when I was walking back to my office on my apple break (I had been talking to that cop guy about guns), I saw her come out of the photcopy room and walk into her room. I followed and knocked on her door and realised she was just about to head back out.
She said "hi what's happening?"
Call me EXTRA sensitive, but I thought I sensed a minor degree of annoyance there. Kinda like how Bush says it when there's a break in conversation and nothing else to say.
I said "nothing, just wanted to see what was happening with you". She said she was serving her first brief, and I jokingly asked if she was going to serve it herself, and she said yes. We had somehow maneuvered so that I was now standing inside her office and she was standing outside. I could sense from her body language that she had to go somewhere.
I asked her about the LPAB and she said she had to go pick up her admission thing for Judith.
That makes sense.
I then told her about how I had lost mine as well and asked her to come into my office so I could show her. I led the way and brought her in FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!
I showed her my replacement ones and she gave an encouraging "oh yeah". We stood there talking for a few moments but I could sense she was in a hurry to leave. She soon left, and it left me wondering why she was so eager to get out of my office. Did she fear being seen in my office?
I may have gotten my answer a bit later when I saw her status had changed to show that she had gone to level 26, presumably to see Judith. Maybe she had to see her by a certain time? That would make sense.
After that I considered talking to her one more time, and maybe even showing her my video of the CLE, or having her try on my glasses and maybe I could fiddle with them on her face. But I never ended up doing that, because I kinda got busy with work. All for the better I suppose.
At the end of the day, I was photocopying something and then Rat walks in. All I did really was ask if she was finished for the day and that somehow turned into a 20 minute conversation with her telling me about two of her matters.
As I listened, I thought it was wonderful how girls who had absolutely no interest in you could feel so free to talk openly to you, yet somehow if they liked you then they (assuming I'm right about Katie) might seem like they're avoiding you.
I noticed Katie and her friend had left at the same time, by looking at the status screens.
I didn't leave much longer after that, as I had that get together for the trial people organised by LA. I bumped into DY, RB and Rom Rom on the street and we walked there together.
I saw most of the people there, and spent most of the time talking with Michael D and GS. Then I moved on and had a chat with Tran, and then Rom Rom and Maria, and with Maria, we talked about Alanna.
I walked to the bus stop with Rom Rom, and then we caught separate buses home. I was tempted to pay a visit to the casino, but fought the urge.
Thinking about Katie now, I think I'm starting to border into the area of annoyance or boredom. I definitely need to avoid her tomorrow. That was my plan today, but I failed.
Avoid her tomorrow.
Avoid her tomorrow.
Avoid her tomorrow.
Maybe I should try to chat up Therese to take my mind off things?
