How did this happen?
Man yesterday was really busy! This lady rang up yesterday and said she was Mr Figaro's assistant and said she would be over to see me a bit later and i said cool and looked at the clock and it was 7:30 in the morning so i fell asleep again but there was a knocking at my hotel room and i looked at the clock again and it was 7:50 so i dragged myself out of bed and to the door and there was this beautiful red head in a smart looking business suit kind of thing with glasses and she said 'my name is Jane Mary, Mr Figaro's assitant. I called earlier this morning. Now if you'll please put on a shirt we can get started setting you up in town.'
I was a bit powerless to refuse the orders of such a smart looking woman, so i did what she said and all of a sudden we were office shopping. We went to five and Jane did the same thing each time: she walked into the center of it, took in all the details in one look and then shook her head. The sixth one, however, was bingo town!
Bingo town is probably a stupid word, but it means that it was the one we were looking for.
Jane said 'this is your office,' and i said 'ok,' and so then we went around to a bunch of stores and Jane always had a store person walking around with her and when she pointed stuff out the store person would mark it on a piece of paper and then when we were finished everything was dropped off at the building and a bunch of guys were waiting to hoist everything up the stairs and into my office.
By the end of the day i had a full office in front of me, with a desk and a spinning chair with wheels and a small reception area with it's own desk and best of all from my window there is a view of the street below, and it looks a little bit grey and dirty just like in the books i read as a kid! It's totally awesome!
Jane sent me home and said that she'd set up a secretary for me and get my name put on the door and everything but that getting me in the telephone books and such could take some time so she said she'd call me when it was all done and i said 'ok but could you please thank Mr Figaro for me because i'm really grateful for all his help in this,' and she said 'Mr Figaro is a busy man but he knows who to trust to do what and if you're a detective then it means at some point he will most likely require your services and i said, 'cool no worries then'
So now it looks like i will be a detective so long as i do Mr Figaro a favour some day. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, huh?
So i spent most of today sleeping and then i went to the 14 carrot cafe and had a few beers while i read some more of 1984, which i still haven't finished. No one came in while i was there so it was like being in my own personal jazz bar for a little while. Very cool. I didn't hear from Jane again, but i figure that should happen in the next few days.
Which reminds me, i think i might need to buy a suit or some clothes that seem more suited to my job. I'll have to have a scout around and see if i can find something.
Blake out.
