It had been one of those mornings. Nothing seemed to be working out. I had to go to an important interview after lunch, so when the train was late, I thought the day couldn’t get any worse. What’s more, while I was waiting on the platform, I spilled coffee on my shirt. No problem, I thought, I’ll clean myself up on the train. As you can imagine, it didn’t really work. Rushing from the station at the other end, I realized my phone had died, leaving me stranded for directions. And on top of that, the sky opened up and I got absolutely drenched. As if that wasn’t enough, I slipped trying to hurry and put a hole in my trouser knee. I finally found a clothes shop to buy a new shirt and pair of trousers. The attendant gave me directions to the office, and I was still okay for time. It’s going to be alright, I said to myself, as I placed my new clothes on the counter. Then, to top it off, reaching into my pocket to pay, I found my wallet had gone.
