Dear Diary,
Well, I should've seen it coming. But guess what happened today? I got a phone call from the L********** to follow up their "investigation" of the "incident" that took place a few Saturdays ago. Fuckfuckfuck. Had to talk to some devil-woman called Jean, who had clearly been trained to sound all friendly and nice to coax the truth out of people, whilst holding Lee's hairy balls in the palm of her hand (Not literally, obviously, I meant his professional balls, so to speak. Plus, I obviously don't know if they're hairy, having never seen them. They probably are though, I mean, how many men shave their balls?? Oh great, now I've got Lee's balls in my head, and not even in a good way).
Naturally, I was trying with all my might not to stammer and freak out, but remain calm and collected as she asked me questions in a very moderated and deliberate way - almost as if I was being questioned by the police. Eeeek. Trouble was, it was started to rub off on me - so by halfway through the interview I was using phrases like; "To my knowledge," "I would like to make absolutely clear," "Can I just state," and "To an extent....." Yeesh. Hopefully didn't give too much away.
Had worked it all out beforehand, in case the dreaded phone call DID come, so at least had a vague idea of what to say - ie: lie through my teeth. Basically said that yes, Carmichael and Lee had invited us for a drink (NOT party, I stressed) afterwards, I didn't drink a lot, but had barely eaten all day which caused me to get a little tipsy (big fat lie, I drank till I could see into space), I wasn't aware of any booze being taken afterwards (lie), sound equipment being broken, or rooms being trashed (I vaguely remembered this happening, but didn't know who did it, so kind of the truth), I couldn't remember what time we left (another lie), and we went back to "someone's" (thought it best not to mention Lee again) house. Very heavily stressed how the whole Dad/Missing person incident was completely my fault and how no-one else had better get in trouble for that, as it was my fault and mine alone. She re-assured me no-one would be blamed and seemed to sympathise, although it was hard not to picture a copper behind her, smiling smugly, shaking his head and twirling his moustache.
So yeah, fairly sure I didn't incriminate anyone, and she said that everyone else basically had the same version of events (Thank Christ for sticking together, now THAT'S teamwork!). Hung up feeling slightly shaken, but a little bit better now it was over and done with, and I hadn't really dropped anyone in it. Phew. Now just hope this disciplinary is held pretty soon and they come to the right decision so Lee can be rightly re-instated. Poor guy - he told me at the party (or NOT party) how he got the position and worked hard for it, I know how much he loves his job. He must be so afraid.......
Must stop this. He WILL get his job back, we all know it. There would be mass outcry if he didn't. Need to pull myself together.
Havn't heard anything from Oli. Presumably the prediction I made in my last entry came true. Shame though, he seemed lovely. And I'm really quite fed up of being single......
Lisa's turn for Come Dine With Me tonight. Shame it'll all be over, but apparently it's Spanish themed, so very excited. And we get to find out our scores! In fact, I must get going, haven't washed my hair for days, and need to tidy my room badly.
