Traveler's Diary- El Paso FIles 1 of ...
Traveler's Diary- El Paso FIles 1 of ... Another week, another trip. You'd think after nine months I'd be used to it. For the most part I am. I'm used to working long, hard days, constantly "on" for my . Used to smiling and entertaining them while meeting their every need and expectation. Such is the life of a Sales SME. The mental and emotional toll of keeping important people happy was and remains more exhausting than any physical work I've ever done. That night, I needed to relax and just be "me" for a bit. The best way for me to relax is to get a good workout in and the hotel gym is convenient. By the time I finished my time on the dread-mill, showered, and decided to eat it was already 8pm. Staying in had become the norm and besides - my favorite bartender was working tonight - and I knew he'd take care of me. That settled it - I will just stand at the bar and grab a salad... We'd seen each other before - the greeting (a side hug and kiss on my forehead) and his long once over were just what he did. I'd come to expect it from him. He was also a regular here. We'd had many a conversation and I'd come to know him and his habits. I knew he was fond of blondes like me, protective, loyal, and a bit of a freak in the sheets (as he was fond of reminding me). I also knew he liked top shelf bourbon and tended to drink more than he should the later it became. This night was no different. Drinking his Bourbon, sharing his stories, trying to impress anyone and everyone... but I just sat and listened, held rapt by his words, his stories, his experiences. I was wondering what drove him to seek this level of attention? What caused him to share these stories, some hard to believe, too fanciful, unrealistic... but still he told them. And still I listened, unable to tear myself away, despite the late hour. There was just something about him.... |
