Council finally approved renovations to the basement. Took them long enough. Be nice to get rid of these leaky old pipes, maybe replace the A/C so it doesn't flake out every day it gets above ninety. Sick of fixing the darn thing.

9/20/77

Got called up to fix a light in the breakroom. The whole staff was waiting-- turns out today's my twenty-fifth anniversary with the city. I'd almost forgot. Had a cake for me and everything.

Hard to believe I've spent all those years down here in the basement. Well, once the renovations are done, this old place should be a lot nicer.

9/12/77

The mayor's out of her mind. All the renovation money's being diverted into her pet project-- that ridiculous 'Treasures' thing. Just today, they ripped out my storage room and started laying in marble floors. Craziest thing I ever saw. What's she going to keep in there, gold bars?

9/28/77

I swear, this mess gets worse by the day. They keep badgering me to help with the project, but I don't want none of it.

It's hard enough just to keep the place running as it is. First cold day of fall, and the heating system completely shorts out. I got plenty of complaints, but at least the temps weren't too bad. Give it another month or two, and they'll wish they'd spent some of that money on maintainence.

10/4/77

Last week, it was Protectrons. Today, they had me set up some highfalutin laser security system. Thing's touchy as all hell. Damn near killed me.

I don't get it. They've taken over half the basement with this fool thing, but they still can't be bothered to shore up the ceiling or fix the damn plumbing. All that work won't matter much if the whole building collapses on top of it. I can't believe the council's going along with this.

10/18/77

Treasures had all of three visitors today. Surprised there were that many-- figured the security screenings would keep them all away. The Mayor tried to put a good face on it for the council, but the city's wasted so much money on this boondoggle, I'd be amazed if we don't impeach the lot of them.

For now, I'll just try to keep the pipes patched up and the tourists out of my office.

10/23/77

I heard it. It's bad outside now, real bad. Kinda puts everything in perspective, don't it?

There won't be a ceremony tonight. Mayor's probably already dead. I'm going to close up the Treasures, then try to get out of here. Still the damndest thing I've ever seen, but... maybe it'll mean something to someone, someday.

Treasures Exhibit Closing Speech - Draft 4

Friends, neighbors, and honored guests,

We are gathered here today to commemorate the Treasure of Jamaica Plain. Though ours may be a small community, it is rich in history. Rich in culture. Rich in memory. And for the sake of those memories, we commit these treasures to the earth, that future generations might look back and remember where we stood, and see how far they have come.
