When I set off for work this
morning, my car broke
down, so I ended up taking
the bus. As soon as I got
off, I bumped into an old
schoolmate, Mark. While
we were talking,
he brought up something I
had already found out from
some mutual friends- that
he had come into some
money and had set up his
own business. He told me
that there was a lot to sort
out, and offered
to take me on, but
I turned him down straight
away.
 When I clocked in, my up over a deal that
boss had a go had fallen through, after a
at me, telling me off in client of mine had pulled
front of everyone. When out of a contract. She told
I got over the initial shock, me that I wouldn’t get
I told her I’d make up away with it, that
for being late, but it turned I’d let everybody down,
out that she had blown and just went on and on….
 Eventually, I ran out I stormed out, phoned
of patience and answered Mark’s secretary,
back– I said I was not who put me through to
going to put up with it him. I told Mark I’d like
anymore, and if she to take him up on his
wanted to lay me off, she offer. So, in the end,
should go ahead. Anyway, everything has worked
to cut a long story short, out perfectly!
