Answer 1

First I woke up late because I had set my alarm clock for 7 p.m. instead of 7 a.m. When I ran out of the house, it was raining hard and I did not have an umbrella. I finally arrived at the office, very wet and thirty minutes late. My boss was standing by my desk. What have you been doing, Smith? Swimming?" he said. I apologised and sat down. Things went from bad to worse. First I broke the photocopier and then came back late from lunch because I got lost. 'We are not doing very well, are we, Smith? said my boss. Then I crashed the office computer system. That was it. My boss appeared and said: "You haven’t made a very good start, Smith. I don’t  think this is the right place for you.'
