Hey guys, I thought I would give you an update on my boss, as well as a few interesting things that I have noticed at work recently.

First off....my boss is single. She broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years and she seems remarkably happy about it. They apparently had a mutual break up. She has been bragging at work about all the dates she has lined up when she finishes her swing. She also can't wait to be a mother. The most remarkable change has been her attitude towards me. She has been nice. Like super nice. And flirty. It's incredibly disturbing and weird to all of a sudden be flirted with by my boss, who a few months ago was hankering for my dismissal.

Secondly, one of the girls I work with, who is the same level as me has recently started seeing the Senior Geologist who works from our Head Office. He is 9 years her senior. She is the same age, and has the same pay grade as me. She broke down crying today when people "found out" that she was seeing someone who is essentially my boss's boss. She is worried that people will think that favoritism will become an issue......I guess time will tell.

One of the female fieldies onsite has recently come back from a trip to Europe, where she recently reconnected with with her first love(her words). He dumped her to move back to Europe. She hadn't seen him in 5 years, yet whilst she was actively in a relationship with other guys, she was fawning over him. She caught up with him, fucked him and is making plans on moving over to live with him in Europe. She had a guy she was seeing(who was all she could talk about before she left) her in Aus. When I asked how he was, she admitted that she hadn't spoken to him, or thought of him since she left(he has messaged her). She was gone for a month and has been back for 2 weeks. I feel sorry for the guy.

Lastly, I went to pick up one of our cooks, who is a backpacker from Europe. She has been away for a while on holiday. I drove her back to site(over an hour) at night time(9-10pm). On the way, I inevitably hit a kangaroo. The poor thing didn't die immediately, but it had a broken spine, and a punctured lung. I got out of the car to put the poor thing out of it's misery and she was protesting the whole time. After giving it a tap on the head with a hammer, and returning to the vehicle, she would't talk to me for the rest of the trip(~45 mins). After saying goodnight and going to bed, I hear a knock at my donga door. It's the backpacker...she want's to sleep in my bed, so I can comfort her. Mamma didn't raise no fool, I know now that you don't sleep with coworkers. So i gave her a hug, said she'll be right and politely told her to fuck off back to her own room.

TL;DR: only a chick can be turned on by watching my bludgeon a kangaroo to death with a hammer.
