Chaos at the Campground

Dear readers, I apologize for my nearly week long absence. I've been working late every night so it's been hard for me to find time to hike/drive (I know, I'm lazy) up the hill to where this computer resides.

So...quite a bit has happened this last week. Sadly, some of it is not very good news. Kim, one of the girls from Jamaica quit on Thursday. Her hours were being cut and she was told her behavior and attitude were not very cooperative...so she quit....after telling off our boss and calling him "gay." She definitely went out with a bang. It's what everyone was talking about for about two days: "Do you think Kim's going to get fired?", "Did you hear about Kim", "Did you hear what Kim said."...on and on. Anyways, she got kicked out of her cabin and is now living and working in West Yellowstone. And it's really too bad because despite her negative attitude towards working she was fun to hang out with. Most nights Jacob, Katanya, Natalia, Kim and I would hang out in her cabin...now she's gone :(

The other little controversy revolves around Natalia, the mother-to-be from Moldova. Yes, you read correctly...she's pregnant...three months to be exact. Nobody knew it. Someone spilled the beans and the bosses found out and they weren't too thrilled. Supposedly, they are afraid she came to the U.S. to have her baby so it would be a U.S. citizen. But the math doesn't really add up...she's three months pregnant and she's only going to be here for two/three more months...so unless this baby is a major preemie I don't think they have anything to worry about. Another theory is that they are worried about her traveling while pregnant so they are going to send her home early. I'm not really sure what they are doing about her situation...nobody really does...it's all speculation, and since she doesn't understand English nobody can ask her. I guess we'll figure it out if she disappears...or if somebody learns Moldovan/Romanian/Russian...or they simply have Luda, the other Moldovan, translate for us.

Oh...and the birds here have been really bad lately...I saw bout five pairs of birds fighting yesterday and I've seen three campers get ambushed by them...maybe it's mating season?

I guess even out in the middle of nowhere you can't get away from drama.
