As you might or might not know, Mr. Nina travels a LOT in his job. This year he has been overseeing a project in China which has required a rotation of 3 weeks in China, one week home, 3 weeks, etc. He got in Wednesday night from the latest stint over there. Then Friday he flew to Oklahoma and then to California yesterday. He should fly home tonight and then leaves again for China on Wednesday. And to make you sure you have all the pertinent facts, he and I live in different states, about 3 hours from each other.
So...Thursday night, out of nowhere, he asks me what would I say if he had to stay in China until the whole project was complete which is about 18 months.
How the heck am I suppose to answer that? We started seeing each other almost 2 years ago and then he got busy with work and I stopped hearing from him for about a year. Then last fall, he e-mailed me, asking how was I and all that. I responded cause I really like him. And things have been wonderful and all that since then except that trying to get together is a pain. And now 18 months in China maybe? Was I suppose to say "I've always wanted to go there."?
He said that he has received another job offer from an automotive company and will talk to them. That will put him closer to where I live now but I can tell he really enjoys his job even though the travel gets to him at times. And he is about to currently add 4 members to his staff to take up some of that travel. And lets face it....automotive industry v. gaming industry means he has more job security with gaming and gamblers. I can always count on you guys for that.
So, gents (and ladies cause I know you will have lots to say too) how was I suppose to answer that? I want to make sure to get this answer right. He brought it back up Saturday night so my guess is we will discuss it again before he leaves Wednesday.
