    Well, today was another disaster! I was really, really late for work—again!

    First, I slept late （as usual!） so I didn't have time for b. Why is it difficult to get up in the morning during the week? I put on my suit and r to the bus stop. There was a lot of rain last night and the road was wet. Well, I ran very fast and I fell over – it's OK, I wasn't hurt – but my suit got wet! So then I ran home to c.

    Later, I went back to the bus stop and the bus came – but it was full of people and there was no space for me. Then I had a fantastic idea – get a taxi! It took me all the way to my office – FANTASTIC! Then the driver asked me for 10 pounds, but I didn't have any money. Why didn't I take any money with me? I haven't done that b! No problem, I said to the driver, I've got a cash card. So the taxi driver took me to the cash machine at the bank near my office. Well, I put the card in the machine but it didn't come out. It was terrible! F, I went into the bank and they opened the machine and gave me my card （and some money）.

    Of course, w I got to the office, my boss was there. I was TWO HOURS late for work – she was really angry with me!
