I'm so proud of my budding little relationships with Patrica and Melissa, especially the later. I had about ten minutes left during lunch when she walked into the breakroom. We smiled from across the room as she waited to buy her lunch. She then came over and sat down right in front of me, despite us having the entire table to ourselves. She has never done that before. The rest of the room was filled with people from merchandising and food service. I smiled again and exclaimed, `Look, it's my favorite person!' She said hello and then realized what I had said. She laughed about it, pulling a lot more sarcasm out of the statement than I had put into it. I then slowly looked around and said, `... in this room!' We both started laughing and I was glad that we did. I extended my lunch slightly although I had promised Patrica who had relieved me to be on time. I had the full intentions of making it up to her on my last break. Melissa and I talked and then said goodbye when it was time for me to leave.
Patrica was tapping on her watch when I returned because I was three (or was it five!) minutes late. I made puppy eyes as she left. I felt kind of bad but then I got a tap on my shoulder and she told me, `But I humbly forgive you!' and smiled. I thanked her and told her that she had me worried there for a minute. I did only take a five minute break for my final one. She seemed very surprised, and told me to go away! I told her that I had peed and that was all I needed to do. Besides Karim had depressed me a little bit because she was being generally unattentive to me so far. She didn't say hello to me at all when she came in to the lounge at the beginning of our shifts this morning. When I did see her on the way back from my break, we talked for a few seconds, she squirted me and then we parted. Patrica told me that she'd come back at the end of her break schedule and let me make up my ten minutes if I wanted to. She's so nice.
She's been telling me about her family lately, too. She has a sister who's slightly older who is pregnant. She just found out on Saturday that she is having a boy and Patrica was very excited about that. She also has a twenty year old sister who was running around the park yesterday. I was going to ask her if her sister is cute and single, but I refrained.
I finally had the opportunity, I thought to talk to Karim at the end of the day after we parked the bumper cars. I had only seen her one other time when she walked up and squirted me good with Jason by her side. She wanted a hug and tried to give me one but I rejected her telling her how upset I was that she was ignoring me all day. I put my arm around her for a second afterwards, but that was all. I was ready to ask her out for the evening, maybe a movie, but she said that somebody was waiting for her in Vivi's so she wouldn't be walking with me to the parking lot. Damn! She asked me what I did Saturday night and I told her that I did talk on the phone. She asked me if I was going to Melbourne with that sexy girl, and I told her no (maybe a slight hint of jealousy was controlling today's actions). She said that she went straight home and went to sleep, except that her ex-boyfriend called her for a few minutes. We chased some ducks for a second and then we parted. She reminded me how depressed I'll be while she's gone all week as she left.
