No Nabi :(
Yesterday I got into work at around 8am. I bought Macca's for breakfast because I wanted to get into work early.
I got some things done and then when it was around 9am, I kept checking to see if Karina would come into work. When she came in, I sent her an email asking her to lunch and that I couldn't go over to her room because I had been 'reminded' not to.
I didn't get a reply back for a while and started getting a little paranoid. When I had to go to Alanna's room, I walked past Karina's room and saw she had her back to the computer writing something, and her screen went to sleep so she hadn't looked at her computer for a while. See? Always a logical explanation for everything.
When she did reply, she said she had to go to Woolies to get some thermals for camping on the long weekend and invited me to go along with her. I said yes and suggested 12:30, which she later changed to 12:45.
We both got to the lifts area at the same time from different doors, and had a quick catch up about her hearing and the bq thing she had the day before. She still seemed a bit sick, but also a bit livelier due to the excitement from court.
We walked along the main city street and had a good time talking about the email Alanna had sent the day before. She had gotten a Boost juice and was looking for a sunny spot to eat her sandwich, and it was a bit hard to find one so we sat on the steps outside the Telstra building. It was kinda peaceful like that, I enjoyed the setting and being with her.
We talked about work mostly, but I also told her about my new ligament tear. She had a really concerned look on her face. She also brought up the topic of Wendy being the PLO, and I found out from her that Wendy wasn't the original PLO, it was another chick who went to school with Karina. I sensed some envy/jealousy and nudged her softly when I asked what this chick was like. She said this girl was actually 2 months younger than her, lol.
Soon after we went to Woolies to look for her thermals. We couldn't find them and she said she'd get them early the next morning. We walked back down the street and I suggested we grab a cone from Macca's. She thought about it and ultimately said yes. We also talked about how she had a new trainer, and I said I could be her trainer, but she said I would be too hard on her.
We got our ice creams and ate it on the way back. I think she had wanted to sit down somewhere. I thought about taking her to the arcades but we really didn't have enough time, and the boss had see me eat my lunch earlier in the office as well so he'd be wondering why the hell I went out when I ate in the office.
We stood downstairs in our building finishing off our ice cream, and had had some good laughs about cats falling accidentally and brain freeze due to eating ice cream too fast. Amy walked by us and pressed the buttons for the lifts, carrying lots of stuff from shopping. Karina said she never said hi, and I said Amy was a nice person, so she wanted to go have a random chat with her and we caught up to her in the lifts.
I was prety happy about lunch, even though when we talked about camping I found out she was going with the guy she was seeing who HAS A SON, but I was content not to see her for the rest of the day. I tried to leave before she did but got caught up doing some work and she walked by to say bye.
Alanna and I have gotten back onto rapport. While I was talking to Amy in the kitchen, Alanna had dropped off a file in my office. When I went to see it, she had put a post it note with 'ninja' on it, referring to my ninja jokes about getting stuff to eachother's room without the other knowing, lol.
I didn't really have anything to do after work, but had planned to watch a movie. I went home and got the car, went to the shopping centre near me wanting to watch Robin Hood, but I got there about two hours early, so I broke my drought and went to the casino. I used my 'Nabi money' to play, and won $100 playing the colour/columns method.
I then went to Broadway to see if any movies were on but I was way too early for Robin Hood, so I went to get some petrol and then went to the Wick and rented Invictus. I watched it with my dad at home, but it was a bit hard with my mom and sister around, so I stopped about three quarters in and went to sleep.
I went to the gym this morning, and felt a bit rusty even though really I had only taken a week off. I could still bench 20kgs, but it felt...different. It's going to be hard to get that NBA body with no cardio :(
After gym I went to the supermarket to get some bread and chips, then went home. I had a bit of a nap, then woke up and finished Invictus. Good movie overall, but I could see how some people wouldn't like it. It was a cross between a sports movie and an auto-biography, with really no special focus on either.
I was really looking forward to seeing Nabi, and when my parents came back with the car, I went down and made the call. I said I wanted to book for Nabi, the guy checked and......it was her day off.
It made me sad, because I had come to expect seeing her. My plan was to buy her that pancake thingy from Breadtop *sigh*
My paranoia got me thinking and I wondered why she had taken today off. Didn't she know I'd be coming? Or was she avoiding me? Or maybe, because Monday's a public holiday, her boss had told her to work on Monday so she had her off day today instead of Monday. But then why not take Sunday off? Hmmm.
So now I had no goal. I had the car with nowhere to go. I thought about seeing another girl at that place, but then didn't think it'd go down well if Nabi found out. I couldn't go to the massage place I used to go to because they'd absolutely kill my knee. I didn't really feel like seeing another girl, but at the same time I needed something.
I went to return Invictus, and then found myself driving to the casino. I knew I shouldn't have, because I was up and I wanted to stay that way. Close to the casino, I saw my neighbour Chris walking with a friend. We waved at eachother, and I just thought how great the timing was. I hadn't been for ages and when I do go he sees me. Now he must think I'm a regular.
I played the colour/columns again and was up $75 before losing it all slowly.
I withdrew $400 and played the numbers method at a table with an old man as a dealer. Just before I had arrived he had spun like 7 times in a row in the same sector...goddamn it.
I carefully (is that even a word in the casino?) won back my $200 plus $85 gain. It took a while to decide to pull out, but what really did it for me was the pit boss looked like a real prick, and I could tell he would be really satisfied to see me lose, and I didn't want to give him that satisfaction so I walked off with my money, hehe.
After that I went to get a quarter chicken and chips then went home to watch Game 4 of the NBA Finals. It was pretty exciting, and now I don't think it's possible for Kobe to miss any shots. He made some ridiculous shots. If I was healthy, I'd be practising those tomorrow. Big Baby played well, and so did Nate Robinson. I take back what I said about him before.
Ah and now I'm waiting for G to pick me up so we can go meet Brain and others in the city to do...undecided.
