Beginning of the end of debt?
No gym in the morning again.
Work was a bit of a bludge in the morning, as we had a branch meeting at 10am, so only had to do something until then.
The new boss David S was there. Even he felt a bit awkward as he walked past first before coming in. What was even more awkward was him sitting next to me. That was actually Steve's seat but he went to get a cup of tea. I didn't know what to say, but it felt like he was a stranger and so to make him feel more comfortable I told him we usually had more people but they were out at court (at one time I did a mental count, and the paras out-numbered the lawyers).
Michael ran the meeting with his self large sense of humour. You could see the contrast in styles immediately. David S knew much more than Michael, but Michael was the more likeable one. I noticed and liked how Michael would make a joke sometimes, and then turn to the person he's trying to make laugh and laugh himself and keep nodding, as if to urge that person to laugh with him, lol. Jolly man.
Christina came to the meeting late because she had court, but I noticed how she made an extra effort to stick her head out to laugh at one of David S' comments. Wow, she was one of the more vocal ones in protesting the change.
I was getting pretty hungry so was glad when the meeting was over and I got to return to my room to snack on some Mamee noodles, hehe.
The people who were available gathered at noon to go to Michael's lunch. I couldn't go because I had a mention at 2pm, but had planned to go afterwards if they were still there.
Just before 2pm, I was in the bathroom playing on my phone when it rang. Being in the bathroom, I of course let it go to voice mail. When I returned to my room to pack for court, I checked the message and it was the guy from the bank, telling me my application for a credit card had been approved. Well I kinda had a feeling they would approve it.
I went to court and did the mention, and then went to the bank after that to complete the paperwork. Done. It will take about 10 days for my balance to be transferred.
I went back to the office, thinking about going to the lunch, but earlier I saw that Steve had returned and thought that people were on their way back anyway, so I didn't bother. Turns out, when Sarah returned, that Michael didn't want people to leave, but Steve and Bryony had to because they had work to do, so Sarah, Christina and Trent stayed with Michael for a long lunch.
I felt bad about not going, and wondered what Michael thought about that.
After work, I caught the bus home. There were some girls, who were probably between 19-22, talking about girly stuff at the back of the bus. They started talking about how the bus driver gave one of them a bit of a hard time, and suddenly one guy said "you should've just told him to mind his own fucking business, his job is to just drive the bus".
I thought this guy was probably just trying to find a way in with the girls and trying to impress them, but later as the girls kept talking, he said "don't you girls ever shut the fuck up, always talking". Which led to a long silence before the chatter slowly started up again, lol.
I got changed at home and then drove to pick up my glasses. I waited a while before I was served by that guy who fixed up the broken arms before. He spent a lot of time adjusting the new pair, and I swear, it felt good to have his fingers tenderly linger around the back of my ears as he did. Weird. But anyway, seeing the amount of effort he was putting in to make sure everything was right - that was why I went there.
I went to the gym at the Bra after that, and while working out I thought about how instead of making large regular repayments on my new credit card, I could make the minimum, then put the rest into an interest bearing account. Or would that type of greed lead me down the wrong path and ultimate failure to pay the debt off?
