It's Dugon and me?

"Quit worrying about what they do and do fuckkin' Shady. I'm fucking going crazy"
-- Talkin' To Myself, Eminem

Got to work right on 9am because after gym I decided to have breakfast at home. I knew Alanna had court so I didn't bother her and waited for her to come back. But at about 10:30am, Genie comes in and tells me that Alanna's suddenly gone to Newy because she received news that her grandma had a stroke. I was in a happy mood before that, so it was kinda weird to switch to sad mode in such an instant. I understood, and accepted that Alanna had to go. I thought about texting her but then realised: 1) I wasn't really anyone to her; and 2) I didn't want her to check her phone while she was driving.

I spent most of lunch in the bank waiting to deposit my coins. This old man before me must've had like ten large bags of coins, which kept filling up the machine and needing assistance. I reckon I was in there for about 40 minutes - grrr.

I went back to the office to have my soup and pizza toast, and kept working. When I went to cut up my orange, I took a walk around the office and saw Karina had returned from court. We walked to the kitchen together and then Zena came in and then Yoshi came in, and we all started talking about Karina's day in court.

I was eating my orange and saw some juice spit out onto Yoshi. I wondered if Karina saw it, or if Yoshi felt it. In any case, I stepped away to make sure it wouldn't happen again.

In the afternoon, I saw Dugon and Maria in Wendy's room talking. I figured they must've been talking about lists, and wondered if Wendy had finally chosen Dugon as Louise's replacement. It had me going crazy.

Why her? Why not me? What were they talking about? Why would Wendy choose her over me? I had the court experience. I don't think Wendy likes you...

I later heard them talking about it outside my room. Dugon and Maria were talking about the same thing (finding the Ponia affected cases in the list) and I knew that it shouldn't have affected me anymore than it did last time, because nothing new had happened, it was still the same task for Dugon. But emotionally, it was another hit.

I kept thinking about it until I left work. The only people left were Dugon and Wendy. I thought about staying even later but figured I needed to go to the gym. I went to say bye to Dugon, even though part of me started feeling competitive towards her. So it had come down to her and me. I knew it. Karina was too weak, Turk took too much time off, Zena seemed too soft, and Lewis seems kinda lost. Katie and Yoshi still act like little girls. It was Dugon and me.

On the bus home, some guy got on with his really hot girlfriend. She reminded me of the type of girl you'd see at the shop where I used to see Naby, and I suddenly started thinking about her. I could now picture her face, the way she smiled when she stood there as I greeted her. I missed her...

Then it struck me - why didn't Wendy get Karina to do that stuff? After all, Karina was assisting the list. It would make the most sense.

Maybe Wendy's rotating between you and Dugon, and you're just making a deal out of nothing. I mean, she did give you that hearing which she deemed hard. That's something. Or maybe she's trying everyone out to see who is suitable. Or maybe, without Alanna around, there's no one around to speak good of you.

In the end, I decided that whatever Wendy decided, she had her reasons. I'll just continue working hard and showing persistence. Kobe inspired me. He had a lot of hate when he was young, and now look at him.

Preparing for the gym, I decided to take my glasses just in case that girl was there. Just as I took them out, the right arm broke! Faaaark!!!

At the gym, something a little odd happened. When I was pushing my knee down against the towel, I felt a bit of a shock in my knee if I pressed too hard or too long, like the same type of shock I'd get when I was fresh out of hospital. Hmmm. Maybe I'm doing too much physio?

I also did some benchpress and then decided to skip the barbells because I wanted to go home to watch this thing on the Bermuda Triangle.
