Chapter 3: A Work Day: Jim Chapman

Jim POV:

I live in London, England. I live alone. My flat has two bedroom with two bathroom. The other bedroom is a guestroom. Both bathroom are a shower and bath tub combo. I have one big closet in my bedroom and some small closets throughout the flat. The kitchen and dining room are one. My laundry room is in my living room. I have one TV which is in the living room. My flat only allows dogs which is good for me because I have a dog. My golden lad name Buddy and he is 2 years old. He sleeps in the bed with me and eats in the kitchen. He loves to swim, run, and play catch. I love Buddy so much.

Today is Monday and I woke up at 8:30 am. I took a shower, brush my teeth and wash my face. I brush Buddy and got dress. I feed Buddy and I had oatmeal for breakfast. I don't cook much, I usually order out. Around 10:00 am Buddy and I went to the car and drove to work. It takes twenty minutes to get to work. I own a store. The store is dog grooming, I style dog's hair. I have four people who work for me. Their names are Wendy Windy, David Smith, Sally Silly and Zach Rower. We all style dog's hair. Wendy also sets up the appointments. David also takes the payments from the customers. Sally also answer questions that the customers have. Zach and I also clean the shop up.

My store hours are Sunday thru Thursday 11:00 am to 6:00 pm and Friday thru Saturday 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. I have Sundays off and I leave from work every day at 5:00 pm unless someone calls out for the day. The four of them stay to closing. Zach stays an extra hour for cleanup. Buddy comes to work with me every day and walks around the shop. He interacts with the other dogs and customers. They love him. Anytime a customer gets angry I am the one who talks to them. I usually give them a discount which helps calm them down.

I start to clean up my station around 4:00 pm so by 5:00 pm I can go home. At 5:00 pm Buddy and I say goodbye to Sally, David, Wendy, Zach and the customers. Then we walk to the car and drive home. I usually eat take out but I am going on a date tonight so I'll be eating later. So I wash up and trim my beard. I use gel to sleek my hair back. I change into a grey suit with black dress shoes. I feed Buddy and kiss him goodbye. I walk to my car and drive to a flower shop. I brought a red rose and drove to Zoe's flat. I park the car and got out, then I walk up to the door. I rang the doorbell and a minute later the door opens. There in front of me was a smiling and beautiful Zoe.
