First day back at work
I woke up today feeling half like I didn't want to go to work, and half wanting to go to work to wear my new suit. I walked to work and only Clare was there when I got in. I tip toe-d past her, grabbed my clothes and went to change. When I returned, Nunjo was in Clare's room talking to her. I just walked past. I didn't really have a 'plan' as to how to act towards Nunjo. I actually felt like whatever or however I felt towards her last year had disappeared - my mind was a split between Amy and Naby. Anyway, I walked past out of not wanting to interrupt.
When I went back out they were in their rooms, and I said good morning to each as I passed. Other than that, I kinda stayed to myself in my room, working on my minute. I kept thinking about Limitless and how much I could achieve if I concentrated.
Shortly thereafter I had to walk out again and saw Nunjo and Christina talking outside Clare's room. I was going to avoid eye contact but Nunjo looked at me and I gave her an eyebrow raise and she acknowledged me in return.
I was checking shares at the same time and saw that casino shares were dropping to an amount I'd feel good about buying in at, so I went to the internet computer to put a buy order at $3.50 (it never reached it, touching on $3.51 and then going up to $3.64 at one stage). Clare must've wanted to 'catch up' as I hadn't talked to her, so she asked me about my break and then asked what I was doing. I said I was just looking at shares, which I think Nunjo heard. Clare said I must've been doing it out of boredom. I wasn't, I was actually working quite hard up until that point, but now I just wanted to buy in at a good price.
Anyway, I went back to working in my room and after a while Nunjo came to my door! This was a surprise, since I can only really recall her coming to my room by herself once, and that was to ask a work related question. I wondered if she had understood the ball was now in her court since I asked her out to lunch, and now she was making a move.
She was standing at my door, didn't come in, and asked me about my break. I wasn't expecting it so felt a bit nervous, told her about playing basketball, getting sick and coming into work a few times. She said she went to Orange, spent Christmas with her nieces and nephews. She said she got tired of kids after a while, and did not seem to tolerate a crying baby very well. Hmmm.
She said she was in Sydney on NYE and just had a quiet one with a friend I think. I told her I was at a friend's place playing board games. I was saying how peaceful the next day was and she agreed, and said she met up with a friend for breakfast and dinner in her suburb. I wondered for a moment if it was a guy. I told her I didn't get my PS3 because the price never came down much. I wonder if she thinks I'm a cheapskate.
She walked off soon after, and I returned to my work, when I wondered if she was waiting for me to ask her out to lunch? I remember thinking her body language seemed to show she was a bit nervous. It was like she didn't know how to stand or what to do with her arms, so she crossed them.
At close to noon, I went to her room to ask if she felt like sushi. She said she was having that tomorrow with Fiona and asked if I wanted to come along. I just naturally said yes without really thinking about it. I mean, it seemed like the thing to do I guess. I was intimating that I wanted Japanese, and here she was saying she would be having it tomorrow. Besides, I kinda know Fiona so it won't be as awkward. We talked about a few places. I had sushi train in mind, but I think she had a 'table restaurant' in mind.
She started telling me about her lunch plans for today, saying she was going to have pho with a pregnant friend of hers. I never thought about that, but I guess she did and wanted to explain why she wasn't available today.
I had my usual chicken and bread for lunch. I hadn't had it for a while, so was kinda looking forward to it. Besides, it's really cheap.
I managed to finish one minute and get another halfway done by the end of the day. I felt like I was fairly productive today. Imad also came to tell me about the temporary promotion, and Judith called me about it and showed me how to 'activate' it. I almost forgot about the whole thing.
Nunjo also came to say bye at the end of the day, but Christina came over which sort of interrupted things. Nunjo seemed a bit more relaxed this time.
I started reading some transcripts at 5pm and finished a bit after 6pm. Then I went to the gym. I thought it wouldn't be packed cause it was the first day back, but there were a lot of people at the weights. I really felt like lifting today, so that was good. I was so hungry afterwards I came close to buying some chips, but told myself I needed to save money for tomorrow's lunch.
Btw, I LOVE my new suit! I had this fear that I'd regret the colour, but it's perfect!!!
