So its almost 11 pm and I'm in my office (went home and came back) because I don't like to work from home. I enjoy the office around this time, I'm the only one in here and ideas for things seem to flow much better for me. I'm also clearing out my stuff as the residency ends on the 29th of this month. Its been a rough, very,very,very long 2 years but I would be lying if I said I regretted it. I have learnt so much about pharmacy and about people and I am excited and motivated about putting into effect the things I have learnt.

So anyway, I met this single Igbo chick at the hospital and I was excited ... I mean sitting at home can be fun some days but not all the time. I looked forward eagerly to doing some girly stuff with a single adult. I'm not really a guy's girl ... I'll much rather spend time with females than with males.

Well, she as happy too I guess cos we called each other frequently. Made plans to go out and stuff. Then I ran into the first questionable behavior. The practice of 2 people going out to eat or watch a movie etc and everyone paying individually. I'm not gonna lie. I really, really hate that. When 2 people go out to pay, I don't see why one person cannot take care of the bill. Especially when its a small amount like 10 - 20 dollars.

So girlfriend and I went to the movies where she paid, I offered her something to eat before we went in to the movies and she said no which was fine with me. A few days later when we went out again to eat, I saw her acting so strangely when the bill came. She picked it up and was visibly shaking. I wondered why and so I brought out my card and when she saw I was about to pay, she offered to pay half. I was like "don't worry about it" So I paid and did not think much about it

Now, this girl had fallen on hard times and was going to a nursing school. She was not working so I definitely was not expecting her to pay for things we did together cos I knew she had no money. But she kept acting so strangely! At the movie theater she was ahead of me in line as soon as we got to the counter, she jumped out of the way and asked me to pay, that she would pay for the popcorn (I was al little irritated firstly cos she stood in front of me and secondly, I don't really care if I get the movie tickets AND the popcorn, its not that big a deal!!!!)
Well, the small theater only had a cash popcorn stand so I paid for the popcorn too. Don't really care.
Well we decided to go eat dinner after the movies and when the bill came, she snatched it up and hide it. I felt so uncomfortable that I got up and got some more food (it was a buffet) just to step away from the situation. As we were about to go, I opened my bag to leave a tip, she was just so irritated (maybe she thought I was trying to pay) and I tried to tell her quietly that I just wanted to leave a tip but she had moved on ahead of me to the cashier.

How about her card was declined????? She brought out another one and it was declined also! I was so pissed. Oh girl knows she's not working, instead of her to graciously accept free meals she's acting so silly. I bailed her out but I was laughing inside.

Since that day, I haven't really spoken to her cos I'm not sure I'm ready for that friendship. I call it 'frenemy". I'm not sure she likes me and I certainly don't want to hang around someone who does not like me abeg.
