over here pretty
often.”
“You trainin’? That’s gonna go over
like a fart in an elevator!”
“Real nice, Juniper." Candace
replied in sarcastic tones. "Do I have to get Mr. Nash involved again?”
I heard a “Hmph!” and rustling
paper. Apparently Mr. Nash was the winning threat.
Candace turned back to me with a
sober look as she shook her head. “Anyway, let’s get you started before someone
is tempted to eavesdrop.”
Paper shuffled with vigor across
the way.
“John Paul will be here soon to set
up your email.”
“Oh, I already did that. Someone
set up my user ID and I got it started on the computer. Really nice computers
by the way!”
“Oh yeah, they really take care of
the employees here. They believe that a happy employee is a long lasting
employee, which has something to do with staying longer and helping the
business, or something.”
“Employee retention. Apparently
it’s cheaper to keep the current employees than train new ones. And it’s great
for knowledge retention and work flow, which helps the business prosper. So
they teach, anyway.”
Candace blinked a couple times.
“See, that is why you got the better job. College.” She nodded like the tiny
bit I actually picked up in five years was a fountain of knowledge. This is
what Jane must always feel like.
“Really advanced that you set up
email, though.” she began again. “I still don’t know how to do that. Okay,
let’s get--”
Another head popped into the cube,
cutting her off.
“Hey girls. I’m here for the
computer set-up.” He must have been in his early twenties. If he had hit
twenty. Average looking, sandy, short-cropped hair, brown eyes, and a nice set
of shoulders. He didn’t look like he worked out, but he had the natural build
that most gym men would kill for.
“Hey John Paul. This is Jessica.”
He smiled. “Hi Jess.”
“Hi John Paul.”
He moved as if to come in, but
Candace stopped him. “She set up her email and signed on already. She even put
on a background pic! She went to college.”
As if basic computer skills were a
mark of a truly gifted mind. Jane must truly love her life.
“Wow. That is really excellent
Jessica!" John Paul nodded in approval. "You can probably handle a
lot of the simpler things as well. That will really help me out. Though you’ll
have to call every once in a while so I feel needed.”
Smitten by young, heart-felt male.
He popped out and Candace filled
the void. “He’s really very nice. Cute, too!” She giggled. I had a feeling I’d
need to get used to giggling. “Off the market, though.”
“Oh? Is he g*y, then?”
“Gay? Oh my Lord, no! He just got
married! Too bad.”
“Really? He seems a little young.”
“He’s nineteen, I think.”
“Married?! At nineteen?”
Candace flashed me a quizzical
look. “Ye-ah, why?”
“How does someone get married at
nineteen?”
Juniper chimed in with, “Easy as
fallin’ off a log—if you’re not a hussy!”
Candace and I both looked at her
cube, but she hiding behind her plant. All we could see was a mound of blond,
teased hair above leaves. Listening to our every word, but hiding.
Candace continued, stepping into
the cube and lowering her voice so it was harder to overhear. “Yeah, people
here get married pretty early sometimes. High-school sweethearts and all the
rest. Not everyone, but there are definitely those that do. He is big into
Jesus and going by the bible and all that. I think he waited, for you know…,”
she raised her eyebrows to indicate just what he was waiting for, “until he was
married, and now his wife is pregnant.”
My world was blown. All that at
nineteen? Waited until marriage? Did that happen anymore? What if the other
party was awful in bed? Did they only stick to missionary? I would have to talk
this over with Gladis.
Funny that the first person I thought
to talk to about this was an old woman.
Candace and I got to business after
that. The work seemed pretty easy.
