from behind the door i can faintly hear someone say " enter " . I check my outfit one more time and enter the room , head held high . In the middle of the room us a Huge table , at the end of the table four men are sitting , completely dressed in expensive costumes. they make me feel slightly out of place with my rather cheap clothes.
i stand in front of the table with a nervous smile "I'm Emily tores"
"Ah yes miss tores " the one on the right says checking his paper . he notions to me to take a seat. I take the chair closest to me and sit down , waiting for them to speak.
"As the Secretary confirmed you are hired for this job " another man says . I nod politely "Are you shore you want to do this ?"the first one asks. I nod once again . " alright in that case . we need you to sign these forms . we will have someone send over to inform you where you will need too go and any other information" . he hands me a stack of papers and a pen and walks out followed by his fellow fancy pantsy dressed friends.
i read slowly true the paperwork , there is nothing more boring then to decipher the decoded words of contracts , so at some things i am just guessing . but they always told me you need to read everything you sign even the fine print. so when i completely went over the 36 long paged contract i put my signature and wait. patiently .. pacing around the room. grabbing a coffee from the conveniently placed machine in the corner of the room.
after the most agonising fifteen minutes of waiting a woman walks in . she is even better dressed then the man that where in here before . she shakes my hand and takes place at the head of the table. "Alright than let's start with the places we have for now on the list . " the woman educates me on where we are going , how i should drive and how not too. when she is all told out she gets up and asks me to follow . " i will bring you too the bus , we have at the moment two on the lot , the rest is all taken for the moment. but this group does have the best of the best so we gave them the best.
she leads me out the back of the building into a big parking lot. two big red busses stand out like a soar thumb . the nameless woman walks towards one and opens the door before handing me the keys . i stick my head inside . it smells new! i look back at the woman and she notions me forward . so i take the steps one at a time . There is a little kitchen, with coffee machine . some sofas , i hope they welded too the ground and bunk beds all the way in the back.
there is a tv set up complete with some console for playing games and a plush little carpet. i turn back around and inspect the drivers seat . soft , bouncy and comfortable . i can do this. when i get back out the bus the woman is still standing there . "guess it would be no problem to drive this " she says a small smile at her lips . " not a problem at all , i drove bigger haha " she chuckles at my attempt at joking . " there is an extra bunk for you , you have to keep yourself at the driving hours . in case you are parked at a hotel a room will be booked for you. but otherwise you can use a bunk. i nod in confirmation. the woman inform me i need to be back in the conference room at 6 for a crew meeting before bidding goodbye and leaving me too it.
i walk around the building back to my bike , they keys too the now locked bus in my pocket. the plan is to go home , pack in a rush and get back here. i done on the helmet but leave the rain gear to hang on the handle and make my way home as safe and fast as i can.
After 2 hours I arrive home , soaking wet like a drowned cat. as soon as i walk into the house is shake off the wet clothes and rush too my dresser to put on something comfy yet decent. after getting dressed again i start too pack. tomorrow a taxi should pick Me up and bring me to the bus , we are supposed to be leaving somewhere in the afternoon.
i feel so proud for packing all i need in an hour and getting back in time to the office for the staff meeting that i almost forget i need to drive back in the rain ... home .. again...
the meeting is as expected , all the information for everyone , cheers and shouts and good luck wishes.. before i know it i am back home , stripping from my clothes again . but this time i get straight into bed. i have an early morning tomorrow and i like to be at least a bit rested before i arrive. but my luck seems to have ran out. all i can do is stare at the ceiling wondering about the adventure i am about to have . on the other side , my nerves seem to have vanished probably around the same time i was soaking wet for the second time today.
i slowly watch the sky light up and for once in my life i am up and about before my alarm even goes off. warm coffee in my hand i stare at my alarm and laugh at it . funny thing .. who beat who now huh .. HUH!
