September is here, and the brats have gone back to school.

I officially start training with my new boxing coach next week. I am really looking forward to it. I am also looking forward to our new P.A. system being finished. They said it would take three weeks, and we are now into week four, and they are now just finishing it. Gotta love those Bose speakers they installed all over City Hall.

One of the installer guys handed me a “manual” on how to use the thing. Its about the size of a Stephen King novel. There is another “manual” explaining how to use the Bluetooth function. Yes, I payed an additional $14,000 to have Bluetooth installed, so you can just bark commands at it, without using the keypads. Yeah, how cool is that?

The main unit is in my office. It looks like a server, with some kind of external sound mixer and P.A. amplifier. I will have to read the novel to find out how it all works. I’ll be sure to get right on that.

Let’s see what my colleagues are up to today, besides the usual nothing.

Judy is working for a change, although I have no idea what she is doing, but at least she is working or pretending to work. However, she seems to be ignoring my existence. That is fine, that way she isn’t bothering me.

Jannet and James’ temporary assignments are almost finished with us. However, the Mayor may decide to hire these two dummies. I hope he doesn’t.

There is the Mayor Man, in his office sifting through some papers. Thinking he is something special. Yeah, he is “special” all right.

I sat at my “computer”, and started checking email. Oh, what’s this? An email from my coach.

“Hey Jake,

Can you make it into the gym after work today. I would like to start your training now.  I may have an opponent for you. A guy from New York. His name is Jeff. I think we can make a big thing of this, a Canada vs. USA kind of deal. If you are interested, let me know, but we need to start your training soon…

Thanks,

Coach Jeremy “

Oh, Jeez. Now? Crap.

Right at that moment, the Mayor walked in with James and Jannet, “Jake”, he said in that smug voice of his, “I am very happy the James and Jannets’ performance. I want to hire them. Would you fill out the paperwork and send it over to HR, please?”
