Last Sunday night May forgot to set her alarm clock, so she overslept and was an hour late for work.
May’s boss, Ms. Collins, called her into her office and told her that because she was late again she
couldn´t go on a planned business trip to New York the following week. Ms Collins said that she’d
decided to send a more reliable person. May was so upset about missing her business trip that she
locked herself in the ladies’ toilet and cried her heart out. Besides, she completely forgot that she had
arranged to meet her boyfriend, Ben, for lunch at an Italian restaurant.
Eventually, May dried her eyes and returned to her desk. She looked at her computer screen; it was
totally out of focus. She asked her partner at the next desk if he could help her put it right, but he said
that he couldn’t see anything wrong with it. Then May realized what had happened. The computer
was all right, but she wasn’t. She’d lost one of her contact lenses on the toilet.
At last day ended. Without her contact lens May had to get the bus home and leave her car at work
because she couldn’t see to drive. She waited at the bus stop for over an hour in the pouring rain
and didn’t get home until 8 o’clock. There, she was greeted by a message from Ben on her answering
machine.
