What a way to begin my first day on the job...
Fifteen minutes late on my first day. Well, I couldn't help it if we had an accident. Those are the chances you take with public transportation in the city, I think as I try to reassure myself that my new boss will understand.
As the cab limped to the curb, I paid my fare and grumbled that the best tip he'd get from me was to take a course at the nearest driving school. Slamming the door behind me, I stood outside the bar and looked up.
The neon flashed bright red against the gathering night WELCOME INN... WELCOME INN... I took a deep breath and shifted my bag over my shoulder, pulling the door open.
"Hiya!" I called out to the man behind the bar. "You must be the boss. I'm... "
"Late. You're late," he grumbled in response.
Oh, brother. This one is gonna take some warming up to.
