So, on 31st December 2017 I took my party clothes to work with me

so I could get dressed for the party later. When 11 p.m. came, I found
an empty room and put on my party dress. Then I booked a taxi from
the hospital to my friend’s house. I was really hungry so I bought a
sandwich from the small shop in the reception area and had some of
it while I waited for the taxi. Of course, it’s a busy night because a
lot of people go out to restaurants or parties and I wasn’t surprised
when my taxi was late. I was a bit worried by 11.20 so I phoned them
again.
