Desperado Pt. II
Jefferson was contractor on an army base somewhere near Dallas. Then his job got outsourced. He tried his hand as a salesman and got taken in a scam. He met his wife and moved to Australia where she was from, Brisbaine. He's been through training as a plumber, mechanic, and machinist. He's cleaned floors, trimmed trees, and painted roads. Nothing paid well enough or made him happy. Nothing fit. He heard that driving trucks in Kalgoorlie's mines paid well and he liked driving. He packed his bags, kissed his wife, and drove 2300 miles in 2 days across some of the most remote regions of the world to Kalgoorlie. Only then, did he pick up the phone to figure out how to get his dream job. Motivated, capable, and sincere as only a slow talking honest Texan can be, Jefferson is an ideal candidate for the job. He's in classes and waiting for an interview. "I've gone as far west as I can go. If I don't get this job, then maybe... I don't know."
