The Indigenous Awareness training
Got to the gym late today, which meant I got to work just at 9am. I ended up catching the same lift as that cunt Trent. He had come back from coffee with a few other girls. So pathetic. He was totally different! You could so tell he thought he was 'in' with the girls, so eager to please, yet so fucking rude to a guy. And you could tell the girls just treated him as a girl. Fucking pathetic. Disgusting.
When I got to my room I realised the training was on at 9am, not 9:30, so I quickly changed and went to level 8. I was late, and saw Alanna sitting next to Erin at the left end. There was a spare seat between Erin and Libby, but I sat down next to Alanna. I didn't want to say anything because I was already late, but she turned to me and said good morning.
We had to introduce ourselves, and I felt it was a bit like alcoholics anonymous, lol. It made me think that maybe I should go to some gambling counselling. I know I haven't gambled for more than three months now, but that voice keeps talking in my head. I do fear, however, that going to counselling will somehow make me gamble again, because it brings everything to the surface.
Anyway, to my surprise Alanna would at times turn to say something to me. I couldn't quite make out some of it, but just nodded and/or smiled. The consultant did a bit of a roleplay example where she said I was married to Alanna!!! She turned to say something to me but I didn't hear it. I could've made really flirty jokes right there and then but refrained. The consultant then said I had come out of jail and started drinking, and Alanna teased me about that as well.
We had a morning tea break, and Alanna and Erin went off somewhere. I made chit chat with the consultant and then Linda. Then I broke off and sat by myself reading the papers handed out. I was a bit afrad that Alanna would come and find me being anti-social, but eh. She and Erin returned and sat near me and we talked. I was a bit nervous because I don't really interact with Alanna outside of our rooms, so I felt like I had to be 'on' socially.
Found that Erin seemed to have a few go's at Rheem for not doing her work. Alanna kept quiet, which I admired. I find that she really refrains from bagging people. Erin was also telling me not to meet my targets, while Alanna told me not to listen to her.
We resumed after that, and then played a game like celebrity heads. The guy next to me had 'prostitute'.
How appropriate for me...
I told him "you like money and have no morals" and he said "am I a lawyer?" LOL!
Alanna's was pretty easy, and Erin got hers. So it was just me left. Mine was pretty hard but I somehow guessed it.
The whole session was pretty good, fairly educational and interesting. Glad I went to it.
I couldn't believe how long it took. When I returned to my office it was 12:30pm, so I went out to get some lunch. Got a Subway sandwich and ate it in my room, then did a few miscellaneous tasks before dealing with my hearing on Thursday, which will be pulled.
I went to talk to Alanna about it, and somehow we got talking about the gym. She showed me her right wrist where if she turned it, you could see her bone stick out. She said she was double jointed and asked if I could do what she was doing with her knee. I didn't look, mainly out of fear of being perceived as checking her out. But she insisted, so I stood up and looked over her desk, and she was manipulating her knee. It was kinda gross. Then she showed me how she could twist her arms way back behind her, which was even more gross. She kept laughing, and I kept trying to draw that line between not being too funny and not being rude, because I knew Lynette could hear us and god knows what type of talk she might be starting.
I worked till about 7pm tonight, left with Zena. She was on her way to a dance class. I caught the bus straight to the Wick for gym. After my normal knee exercises I did some weights. I also did the bike for five minutes, figure I might as well start oiling my knees up if I'm going to start jogging. I went to get Pringles after and had to run for the bus. I ran fairly fast with no problems at all, so that's good.
