The job interview

I’d been looking for a new job for a while, as I really hated my present one, so it was definitely time for a change. I had seen an advert in the local paper for a job that sounded absolutely perfect for me. I had to have it!

On the day of the interview I overslept! I must have forgotten to set my alarm the night before. I jumped out of bed, quickly put some clothes on and rushed out the door but I was never going to make it in time. If only I’d set my alarm, I would’ve been on time!

As I was running late, I decided to take the tube. I ran down the escalators and jumped onto the train, just as the doors were closing. After a couple of minutes I noticed that other people on the train were looking at me strangely. I looked down at my feet. I still had my slippers on! I must have been in such a rush to leave the house that I forgot to put my smart black shoes on. This was a disaster! What would the interviewer think of me?

I still really wanted the job so I decided to carry on. I got off the train and rushed outside. It had started to rain and I had forgotten my umbrella. I stood at the edge of the road waiting for a taxi when a huge truck drove past. I had been standing right next to a big puddle and I was now completely covered in dirty water!

I couldn’t go to the interview looking like this. I decided to turn back and go home. I wish I’d never got out of bed that morning!
