He got back to his desert life… and somehow felt more at home here… he breathed a sigh of relief and find himself feeling.. this is where he belong..
Nothing was back home for him anymore… he gets himself settled in ..he had the evening off.. so he took a short nap.. then gets up to eat something.. he wonders around camp a little trying to pass time and reflecting back on his past week back home…
He was not really angry.. but it really disturbed him that his girl treated him so cold and shabby… he then smile with the thought that he is losing his touch… He shakes his head… and wonder if it’s his feelings waning for her…why he fails to be able to get her to want him.. because he really didn’t put out that much effort in convincing her or seducing her…
He was feeling slightly rejected.. but should he be feeling this.. or is it just his ego that is bruised…
And Yas ..
he concluded that she is a little deceptive. And not very honorable… but better she shows her true colors now than wait till he’s emotionally invested..
He’s a little bit disappointed but not affected by her…
…..and Terri..
shaking his head he sighs and giggles to himself…. she got some mickey Ds out of him .. but he comes up short on the return…
oooh well.. it’s all behind him now and he came back as dry as the desert..
Feeling a little despondent and a little weary he slowly headed back to his room… he got in bed turn on a little music to soothe his wandering thoughts and it didn’t take him long to drift off to sleep..
The following week was busy .. but he made a couple new friends.. one a Mexican beauty name Beyoncé..
And a Russian guy name Oleg…
He spent a lot of his free time with Beyoncé.. and getting to know her was a thrill…
she was witty and charming.. and easy to like… it was not a love connection but he looks forward to spend time with her all week..
Come the weekend she invited him to hang out with her and some of her crew members.. and he accepted and had a ball… she made him feel like he has been apart of her group.. she included him in every conversation and sit with him exclusively all evening..
At the end of the night he went to his room smiling.. thankful that he made really great connection.. He was moving forward in his new surroundings and his new life…
The following week though she left for her time off.. and he sure miss her company…
Oleg also left.. he has a family so he was glad to go…
It’s his turn when they return next week.. and although he has nothing much to look forward to… he will be making the trip back home.
He was thinking that he may extend his stay long next time… and maybe he can coincide his time off with his Mexican beauty.. he was feeling really good about having her as a friend.. she’s so outgoing and much fun..
It makes this desert come to life for him..
He tried to bury himself into what he’s doing to ward off his boredom and not to miss Beyoncé too much…
He tells himself If he keeps his mind occupied the week will run off before you know it..
He has been corresponding with his girl here and there.. she has been texting him and keeping him informed of her daily activities.. boasting how she has been cleaning and getting her home organized.. she was very proud of her progress it seems…
BUT…
She always ends with how much all this industrious activity is affecting her..
oooh the pain.. can’t move.. so sore..
and then she complains how she’s the only one doing it.. and how she has to take interval break to ease all the severe discomfort it causes..
He tried to be encouraging with his comments but he wasn’t sure why she takes so much pride in telling him all this.. he was somewhat confused though…
Does she wants his praise on a job well done or his sympathy and empathy for her ailments that she always develops after such jobs…
And quite frankly he really didn’t believe she was doing as much as she claims because she keeps going over the same areas in her story each day…
how can one place always gets so messy that she has to be constantly cleaning the same area over and over again..
He has to question her motives in claiming and relating to him her accomplishments on a daily basis…
what is she trying to accomplish here..
impress him.. ???or she just wants to stay in contact with him and so she makes up all this about what she’s doing and how she’s feeling just for conversation.. knowing that he will always respond to her so she can feel connected to him…????
He shrugged it off because he wasn’t really too interested anyways.. he is really losing interest in her it seems… guess out of sight out of mind…
Another weekend is here and how he miss his friend Beyoncé.. she’ll be back Tuesday some time and he leaves out Wednesday morning early…
it has been a very busy week actually.. and he was ready for a break..
Come Monday he was called to the office.. he didn’t know what to expect.. when he got there.. a supervisor/ manager greets him..
He said.. “Cory.. I have an offer to put to you..”
He listened intently..
“We have a opening for a supervisor position in another location and we think you would be qualified for the position if you are interested..”
He was a little stunned at the suggestion and offer.. he has only been here for two months.. he is just getting used to this place and just starting to make friends..
As he sit there listening to him rattling on about the duties required and the increase in salary.. he felt enthusiastic about moving up..
but.. he was a little doubtful if he’s ready for leadership … but again they thinks it’s something he could handle…
He was snap out of his thoughts with him asking…
“What do you think Cory ?? Would you be interested in moving on to another location..??!!
He nodded and smile eagerly.. yes I would..
He got up shook his hands and tell him he would get the package to him to look over and give them his answer if he is willing to make the change..
He agreed..
He walked away with mixed feelings.. he was a little excited.. especially about the salary.. and he was feeling good that they have faith in him to recommend his for this position..
On the other hand..
can he really do this job.. he never had a managerial position before.. does he have that leadership persona to to be the boss and get the job done..
He’s willing to train for it .. but what if he decided it’s not for him..??
Does he want to take that risk???!! Of losing his job…
He really have to put some serious thought into this.. he’s quite happy where he’s at .. at the moment..
He spent all night thinking and thinking. About the pros and the cons.. but he don’t have to make a decision tonight… so he lay back and before he knows it he was asleep….
Next day is Tuesday .. it was really a tough busy day didn’t have much time to stop and think about Much…
when he got back to camp and went to get some dinner.. he was starving.. and exhausted.. it was a hot day..
As he walked in the cafeteria he saw Beyoncé.., she gleams at him waving her hands.. he walked over to her table sit down and greeted her with a smile…
“Welcome back girl… how was your time off.???….so glad to see you back … ”
She smile back at him and responded… telling him she had a good time. But it went much too fast…
He nodded in Agreement and jokingly stated that it went much too slow here.. “it’s been a long week and you weren’t here to hang with..”
“Awwww”.. she gestured..
He excuse his self and go get him his meal.. He spent a few minutes talking to her after eating and went to his room…
He slept good that night… he’s all packed and ready to board that plane in the morning…
When he got up.. he was approached by the manager and he handed him the package he promised… and he got on the shuttle for the airport.. anxiously wanting to review this job offer..
He still wasn’t too sure what he’s gonna do.. but he has one week to go over it and make up his mind…
