Olivia tried to explain, but her boss wasn’t having it. “Just get to work and try to make up for the lost time,” he said curtly.
As she was driving to work, she got stuck in a traffic jam. She was already running late, and now she was going to be even later. She drummed her fingers impatiently on the steering wheel, feeling her frustration grow.
At lunchtime, Olivia decided to take a walk outside to clear her head. She walked to the nearby park and sat down on a bench, trying to collect her thoughts. As she was sitting there, it started to rain. She didn’t have an umbrella, and she got soaked.
Olivia woke up on the wrong side of the bed, feeling groggy and disoriented. She had hit the snooze button one too many times, and now she was running late for work. As she rushed to get dressed, she knocked over her cup of coffee, spilling it all over her new white shirt.
