   Summary

   Sam feels like a fish out of water in Zuzu City; new college, new job, a new sense of freedom that he isn't sure he likes as much as he expected to. What's worse is that his manager takes an immediate disliking to him, and won't seem to let it go.

   It's a little funny that the guy shares a name with Sam's ex-best friend. The two of them are nothing alike.
