I have a shrewd feeling that Eugene's girlfriend is either lacking his affection or non-existant.

When getting acquainted during our first couple of shifts together, I asked about his special someone and learnt that the two of them have been together for three years.

Then I asked whether he thought he was going to marry her, to which he responded with a sigh and "I think I might have to".

Last week's trip to Korea was the first time he saw her in seven months. I asked how the trip was when I walked into work this morning.

"Great! It was really fun." He said.

"And how's your girlfriend?"

He laughed nervously. "Yeah. Good. I mean, what else am I supposed to say." Shrug shrug. Sigh sigh.

I boasted to Jez that I served eight customers within seven minutes today. This was because Eugene was on the phone for about an hour. He was speaking Korean, so it couldn't have been related to work. Secret lover, I say.

Jez and I had dinner at George's. The bruchetta was heavenly. I don't mean to be all mushy mushy about my food, but I fell in love. I really did. If you asked me who I'd save if Jez and a piece of bruchetta were drowning, I'd have to get back to you.

In other news, Jenny has hooked up with Victor. I'm jealous because they're so cute together.

Almost as cute as Jez and me. Almost.
