$100 Rebel gift card
I left home extra early today because yesterday I got a message saying that the first 100 people at Rebel would get a $100 gift card. I figured if I could get there by 7:30am it would be early enough. When I got there, it was packed full of people. I arrived at the same time as a girl and a guy, and we bantered a bit about where we were within the 100. I guessed we were about 80-90.
I couldn't believe there were so many people waiting! The girl asked the guy first in line what time he had gotten there and he said 4am, LOL! Ok, I want it, but I don't want it that bad.
It was kinda exciting waiting to see if we were within the 100, and luckily, we were. I got the card and left, and the guy I had been talking to here and there caught up to me and introduced himself. He asked for my business card which I thought was a bit strange, but we swapped cards anyway. Hope he ain't gay.
When I got to my building, I saw Genie with a girl who looked like Zena but turned out to be Yoshi. I saw them chatting a bit before I arrived. In the lift, some guy who also works for our organisation was talking to Genie about some women's movement for a pay rise. When he left, I joked that maybe I should start a men's movement for a pay rise. Yoshi chirped in and said something. This is the second time she's done it. Last time was last week when I thought Maria was playing rap music and Yoshi was there and said it was Michael Jackson. I was a bit stunned by her initiative, given what was happening between Katie and I. Oh well, my beef isn't with her anyway. But I do keep in mind whose side she's on.
Shortly after I logged on, I got an email from Alanna's personal email. She said she needed me to get a research paper from her computer and gave me her username and password. I thought it'd be a bit suss to be in her room at her computer, so I logged on using mine, but apparently whatever is saved on the desktop is stored in your own actual computer, so I had to do it in her room. When I sent it, I said something like "this counts as a brief" and she replied with something like "I won't bother you for the next two days" which I thought was a bit strange. If anyone was bothering anyone, it was me bothering her. Maybe she wanted reassurance that she wasn't annoying? I didn't reply.
I worked on my hearing in the morning then worked on a brief for the rest of the day. I went to see Karina in the morning and told her how I caved in by buying a coke while watching Game 6. I actually started off by asking her how she was and she said she wasn't still feeling very well, and that she would get dizzy by walking. I said she should just move around in her chair, which made her laugh and made me feel good. Maybe I am funny?
I had lunch in the office quickly then went out for a walk through the Asian grocery store. When I was at the lifts going down, Lynette asked me where my "lunch friend" was. I didn't know what she meant at first, but then realised she meant Karina. Hmmm.
I left work relatively early around 6pm, intending to check out what I could get with my new gift card at Rebel. My knee just didn't feel like walking. I went, but it just doesn't feel normal. It sometimes feels like the bone can become unstable at any moment. Creepy.
I didn't see anything I liked or needed so I left. I went home with the casino deep in my foremind. I went home and went out under the pretense of going to the gym. I won $115 playing numbers and left. My target was $100, so covering the transaction costs was a bonus, even though I had lost $20 just before I left.
All throughout the day I had been at peace with myself about Nabi. I knew I could just call up on Saturday, and I'd find out, or I could go and ask one of the other girls. It was just a World Cup thing, I told myself. I'll eventually see her after the whole thing finishes. She's probably just taken time off to follow it.
But then I checked the forums and found threads where people were saying that the shop she works in has a "sister shop" in the city which does massages, and that sometimes if one shop didn't have enough girls, they would move around.
So she could be at another shop???
That really depressed me, because I knew now that my chances of finding her had halved. It was one thing to look for her in one shop, but in two shops...?
