I'm fine but I've been quite busy. I had an interview for a i have to j could/might kneed
summer job yesterday. I made my plans sensibly. I went to
bed earlier than usual and I got up early. I had organised
my clothes the night before (I borrowed a smart skirt from
my sister!) and I had plenty of time to make my
appointment. I had to do a test first. The manager gave
me some files and I put pieces of paper into them in
alphabetical order. I was extremely nervous so I was
surprised when he gave me the job immediately. And he
says he'll increase my pay after two weeks if I work hard.
Isn't that great?
