Positive reference, then embarassment
Despite lying to A that I had a cold on Sunday, I really do have a cold now. I think it started yesterday, but it was pretty much in full swing today.
Mary could tell I had a cold and said I didn't look too well. I didn't say anything other than it was self inflicted (I think it was caused by shooting my threes in the cold on Sunday).
Anyway, DS came into my room today to talk about the reference he was giving me for my job app. He basically said not to worry if I thought it was too short or wasn't positive enough. He said he thought very highly of me, thinks I'll go to the bar (why does everyone think that??) and said he remembers seeing me in Parra in the big trial (I certainly don't remember seeing him - I wonder what I was doing when he saw me, hope it wasn't joking with DC, lol).
When I got the report, it was indeed short, but it was very flattering. I immediately sent Alanna an email thanking her, letting her know I couldn't have done it without her. She was humnble and said I did it all myself. Sometimes I wonder if I over-achieve without knowing it.
The other thing that happpened today was I was in the photocopying room with Mary as she had printed something off for me. All day long I've been trying not to talk to her too long because I could feel my runny nose starting, but this finally killed me.
Without ANY notice, a drop from my nose leaked out and landed onto the floor.
Faaaarrrk me dead...
She didn't look, but I think she saw it out of the corner of her eye, as she said I should go home if I wasn't feeling well (it was like 4:30pm anyway, no harm staying a bit longer). But I was so friggin' embarassed. She then said maybe I should get germs on the brief to give to the barista.
Fuck. So. Embarassed.
Can't even believe I lasted the whole day. I really felt like leaving halfway through, but I was determined to finish the brief.
