Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 : Boring Day (another)

Albur went to the reception room of his office. There, a robot is doing work on a computer.

"Hi, here's the employee card." Albur handed over his employee card to the robot.

"Oh hey, Mr. Albur Filix, let's see here, the employee of the New News huh?" asked that robot.

"Yes, I told you hundred times, can't you recognize who I am?" groaned Albur 

"Just to double check, here, hope you have a nice day !" the robot opened the elevator to Albur's office. Albur took his card and entered the elevator. After a few seconds, he reached his office. The channel he worked for is so poor that it only have 2 employees, Albur himself and a camera man, who is his co worker. Albur put his stuff on his seat and sat down. 

"Um, Mr. Filix, the boss assigned a meeting today. Please proceed to the meeting room." The robot secretary of the office approached to Albur and said. Albur sighed and took his stuff to the meeting room . His co worker Wilton, was also there. 

"Hi Albur, how you doing ? " asked Wilton

"What do you think, the boss later will come and scold us for some unknown reasons. Eugh, I hate meetings." groaned Albur. 

"Come on, cheer up, smile! " said Wilton. But Albur answered him with a grumpy face. He then silenced. A few minutes later, a very tall and bulky man walked into the meeting room, he is Albur and Wilton's boss. He put 3 files on the table and sat on the boss seat. He put his hands on the table and then cleared his throat.

"I assumed you all knew that our channel is not going well right?" Said the boss

"Yeah...? " Said Wilton awkwardly. 

" This time, I found a way to increase our viewers . " said the boss. 

"Why not you increase our employee first, viewers said that theres barely anyone in our channel, not to mention we don't even have a sign language interpreter. How will those people with disabilities that can't be healed even by R.E.C.O.V.E.R. system to know our news? I mean, we don't even have a subtitler to help us make subtitles." Said Albur 

"Well I have another solution, we can make documentaries ! " said the boss

"What? Boss, I am literally just a news reporter! How can I make documentaries? Plus this is a news channel! This makes no sense! " said Albur 

" I mean news similiar to documentaries, like news about discovery of things, plus you just need to read through the script. " the boss put a pile of folders in front of Albur. "I trust you, you can rock it, now memorise these things, we will start filming tomorrow ! " said the boss in an upbeat voice. 

"I can't recognize who am I now, a news reporter? Or a documentary explainer? " said Albur 

" Oh wait, we have some interesting news today, go film it, and then make the subtitles and finish off today's job. I will be looking for some employees and maybe some CI robots. " said the boss. Then he left the meeting room. Albur groaned and smacked his face onto the table. 

"That's a pretty short meeting, not gonna lie. " said Wilton. 

" Ugh, Wilton, open the camera, we gotta start now, later the boss will say we were lazy again. " Albur stood up and went to the filming room. Wilton rolled his eyes and took the camera and followed him. Despite their technology now is so advanced, money is still a thing, their boss is so stingy that the filming room is made out of just two old spotlights and a green cloth. Albur sat on the table, he then pressed his watch and took out the script file. He sighed, and then looked at the camera. 

"Alright, 3,2,1, action!" said Wilton

"Welcome to New News, today's hot topic is, 'Time Traveling Banned ', as you all might know, time travelling is now nothing hard and impossible, but, on the date 3/4/8167, a time traveler traveled back into the 19's and murdered an innocent person, time police have now arrested him and that person was hospitalized and now good again.

" the news reporting goes on until its 3 p.m.

After Albur finished making the subtitles, it was already 6 p.m. He stretched his limbs and yawned. 

"Hey Albur, its clock out time, we can go now." said Wilton 

"Ah, another boring day." yawned Albur 

"You're always like that, bored of your life." said Wilton

"I feel boring, and this job sucks, low payment and just two workers helping the channel company, that means jumbo extra work you know? " scoffed Albur 

"Ok then, coffee? " asked Wilton. Pouring a cup of coffee. 

"Nah thanks, I gonna go home. " said Albur .

"Alright then, say hi to Mysty for me." said Wilton. 

"Ok." Albur walked out of the office, then out of the building. He went to his parking place and hopped onto his car. 

"You good? You seemed stressed and tired, eh, you look like that everyday, never mind ." said his car system. 

"Say less, head home." said Albur. 

"Heading to, Butterfly Road 6 no 56. " his car floated and start driving back to his house.

"Warning, battery left: 10 %, needed recharge shortly after." said his car system.

"Got it, I recharge you when we get back!" said Albur 

After a few minutes he reached his house. He hopped off his car and put the charging cable on it. And then, he unlocked his house door and entered it, his housemate Mysty, is already home.
