She looked at me!

Did my usual walk to work today, half expecting to see that attractive chick I see sometimes walking in the opposite direction. I remember the first time I saw her, I thought she was really really really hot. But now, she's just hot. That is still good enough.

Recently I've been stealing a glance at her as we pass, and she never looks at me, so I never thought much of it. I just kinda appreciated, perhaps one-sidedly, this ongoing silent 'relationship' we had - you know, just seeing the other each day at around the same time.

Anyway, today I looked at her and she was already looking at me! She didn't flinch though, just held eye contact. The insecure me thinks it was a "what are you looking at?" look, yet the confident me thinks maybe she wants me to smile? If she didn't like you, why would she seemingly cross over to your side of the road today? I swear she came out from nowhere. I was walking through the apartments, watching two sports cars drive through and then there she was!

Ah I was so happy. That was enough to make my day.

I sat in Chris' trial today, and up until 3pm she sat behind me doing her own work. The only minor screw up was when Stali kept going with a witness instead of interposing with another exhibit. Fucking case plan.

At the end of the day, I sat with him until like 5pm in the courtroom because he wanted to listen to the LDs. Because it was in Spanish, I just sat there thinking about how a few years ago, in this very courtroom, I was with HK client opposing Stali. Ah how times have changed.

When I got back to the office, Nunjo was standing at Mario's desk (he wasn't there) and asked me "long day?" I said not really, now determined to stop whinging, and said I am learning Spanish. Mary was walking along the corridor and probably heard me. I expected her to join in but she didn't. 

I then spoke to Clare and she said she has a matter in Newcastle on Thursday but can't do it anymore, and Mary said to ask me if I could do it, but that if I couldn't then Nunjo could do it.

Why the hell ask me? She knows full well I am in Chris' trial, do you really think I'd have time to go to Newcastle??

I thought about this when I was alone in the office. At first I thought it was Mary turning against me, like "if you're so hard working, let's see you go to Newcastle". But on further thought, it could be her way of throwing off DS' plan to have me involved in this trial.

I left the office at close to 8pm and went to the gym. The sit ups area was full so I couldn't get to do sit ups which was disappointing.

Looking forward to walking to work tomorrow!
