Twelve

I formally notched my twelth file today. It was good to see that number on the system.

On the bus to work today, as I was standing and holding the railing, I noticed on my right arm the label of my new suit was still attached.

Oh god...I hope no one notices...

I put my arm down and used my left to hold the railing, only to have the guy next to me tap me on the shoulder and point to ANOTHER bigger tag on that arm.

Oh fucking hell...

I managed to laugh and say "yeah that's what happens when there are a million and one things to cut" and he said the same thing happened with his shorts. I thanked him and that was that. I did appreciate it though, he could've easily said nothing and let me walk around like a fool, so yeah, I appreciated it.

As I walked to the building I couldn't help but laugh at myself, lol.

In the morning, Alanna came into my room to give me back a file, and asked how my weekend was. I was like "alllllllright", and she asked "you didn't come into work did you? Is that why you're saying it like that?" I hesitated and then said yeah. She said something about me learning to work within the hours.

It was kinda a quiet day for me. Heath was on leave, Karina was at court and Turk was at court. I had planned to gym at noon, but ended up working till 1pm and then got changed for gym. I ran to the gym and it was soooo packed. I did a few exercises bar the benchpress and then jogged back.

I heated up canned soup and had it with some bread I had bought earlier. The soup wasn't as good as it looked, but it wasn't too bad.

Karina came in at about 3:30ish and told me about her day at court. She said she really enjoyed it, which I thought was the opposite - normally people find it stressful. She asked me about my weekend and I said I watched Kick Ass. When she was about to walk out I asked her about hers, and she said she came into the city on Anzac Day and saw the celebrations.

Alanna came in to return two files to me, which prompted Karina to go work on hers, lol.

I spent the rest of the day making Alanna's amendments and was so happy when I finally saw that number 12 on the system. In theory it meant I didn't really have to do anything else for the month, but then I thought "wait a minute, I'm ahead now, so let's stay ahead".

Earlier in the day I was heading to the photocopier room and bumped into Katie just as she came out. She looked up at me. I had already had this small grin on my face because I was in a good mood, but seeing her took that away, and we just looked at eachother blankly for a few moments before passing. I really wonder what's up with her.

She looked so worn down, it made me think if she was aging a bit too quickly for her age. Yoshi smiled and said hi to me today, I wonder if that's a sign of anything.

I stayed at work till close to 7pm, and I thought only Rat was left so I went to say bye. At first she just said bye and waved, but when I said something about her marking her briefs, she started on a whole conversation and I was like "uhhh..."

I noticed her look me up and down once, maybe because of the new suit. At the end she asked me how many briefs I had done and I said 12 (even though it'll probably be 13 by the end of the month). She said something (maybe flirtatiously) about either wanting or not wanting to mark mine. I didn't want to clarify, I just left and went to say goodbye to Wendy and exited.
