When I Google translate a polish sentence "august" comes up within it. What does it mean?
OP confused!

Confused, it's the name of a month in summer. August between July and September.

The meaning is obvious to anyone who speaks Polish and you'll be relieved to know it's innocuous. It doesn't by the way mean he'll leave you in August, however since you're reading his private texts perhaps he should.

Not necessarily innocuous. It depends on what specifically was meant by "robota" and whom exactly she needs him to work on.

You've got an even dirtier mind than me. Reminds me of the double entendre from the old TV show: Jestem kobieta pracująca, żadnej pracy się nie boję.

I bet the OP is really paranoid now, wondering if the się in the quote means August.

August means distinguished

In this case it means between July and September. Pretentious? Toi?

Guilty as charged :)

And nobody's bothered to explain to the poor OP that się is the reflexive pronoun meaning not very much on its own which google translate read (because for text messages people usually write ę as e) as Sie. which is the same as Aug.
