I put my head in the sink and washed of the mascara remains. Suddenly I remembered that is was work today. It was one and a half hour left to I’ll had to work, and a quarter to drive. It was bright and early outside, I ran to the store to by some breakfast. It was colder than the ice outside. It was Monday morning, the first day after the holyday. I had to grit one’s teeth. One hour later I was ready to go to work, I started up my car, but the car wouldn’t start, it just made some unusual sounds. After 30 minutes the car started. When I drove to the work, the traffic was moving at a snail’s pace. It was a weary weird trip to the work; I almost got hit by another car. It was red light, but it wouldn’t stop so I had to drive into the side. It had been a pretty penny if we crashed. Later when I was 3 minutes from the parking, some young students had to cross the road. When I finally drove in to the parking I saw a huge piece of metal fall down from the roof, it felled on my private parking, suddenly I understood that I came in the nick of time. My boss was pretty mad at me when I came one hour late, because I had to find another parking. I got the sack. It didn’t help to explain, because someone had moved the metal piece, and it was no witnesses there. Before I went from the work I had nerve to say what I thought about him. - You are an idiot, a penny for your thoughts? I felt a lot more confidence now, I ran out of the building before he got to say anything. At last the penny dropped, he was and would always be a bad boss and employer, and the mysterious metal piece would always be a big question. I got a much better job. Everybody respected me a lot more. All is well that ends well.
