Did she call me stupid?
I went to the gym in the morning, it doesn't take as long now because I've cut down the last set of knee exercises, figure I was over-straightening it.
Had breakfast at home before going to work. Now that I know I'll be leaving in two weeks I've lost a bit of motivation. Anyway, Alanna was already in and I knew I'd have to have a 'catch up' chat with her about her hearing on Friday, but I took my time and walked past her office several times to change and refill my water bottle before going to see her.
When I first went in she made a sad face, and I thought "what the hell? I thought she won the hearing??" I asked her what was wrong and she said I was leaving, referring to the email I had sent on Friday.
We talked for quite a while, about my chat with Michael from upstairs and then about her hearing on Friday. She said she "completely wiped the floor" with the other lawyer, and I could tell she enjoyed telling her story, but I would tune in and out because I had just lied to her moments earlier. I said I had thrown her name in when talking to Michael. I hadn't. Not intentionally, I just didn't find the opportunity.
After that I slowly returned to work, getting things done one at a goddamn time. I went out for a walk around noon, to that Asian grocery store Lewis and I had talked about where he had gotten his coconut juice. I then went back to the office to have my lunch - a baxo of rice from my dad's restaurant which didn't taste very good.
At 1pm, Karina, Lewis and I went to a lunch time CLE. We bumped into Ogre at the lifts so we all went together. Imad and a few other people were already in the lift, including Genie and two other ladies. There was some short chatter amongst them about us spending our lunch time to go to the CLE, and one of the ladies tapped me on the arm and said I was stupid.
When we walked out, I waited until the doors closed before asking Karina, "did she just call me stupid and I don't even know her?" She was like "yeah, I thought so".
Karina, Lewis and I sat at the table at the back. At first I was really sleepy, because I didnt get enough sleep last night (probably why I wasn't motivated) but the lady was actually quite interesting and that somehow woke me up. Lewis, on the other hand, actually slept! I looked at him and he was leaning to his right, eyes closed and sleeping, haha!
I noticed Katie looked back towards the door a few times, and I wondered if it was just to look in my direction. I ignored it and avoided eye contact.
After work I caught the bus straight to the gym at the Wick. I spent some time there, doing my knee exercises and then upper body. Lots of people there tonight despite the thunderstorms. That girl was there too, and I noticed when I went in she took an extra long look at me, probably because of my shaved head.
