​My bad day at work.

​Today I had a bad day at work. I was late because I missed the bus. I missed an important meeting and my boss was mad. I also forgot to bring an important report because I brought the wrong briefcase. On my way to my boss’s office I got a coffee. Then I spilled the coffee on my shirt by mistake. In his office I tripped on a phone cord and fell. He was very angry about the report. Later I told my co-workers that the boss was in a bad mood. I did an impression of the boss and made fun of him. When I turned around the boss was behind me. He heard everything. He called me into his office and he fired me. On my way home I went to my favourite deli for a salami sandwich. But they had no more salami! It was the worst day of my life.
