Bad Day for Tom

Tom had a job interview last week. He got up early and had breakfast. He got dressed and made himself ready for the job interview. He drove his car and headed for the freeway. When he entered the freeway, it was busy because everyone was going to work. After driving for ten minutes along the freeway, Tom remembered that he had left an important envelope that he needed for the interview. The envelop contained some important documents. It had a copy of his university degree and a certificate from the company he used to work at in China.

Tom was worried because he needed to go back home to get the important documents. Tom went back home along the freeway. He arrived home and ran towards the door. He got the envelope and went back to the car. He started driving and went along the freeway again. This time he drove too fast. He was doing more than 100 kilometres per hour when a police car started to follow him. Soon after that, Tom stopped his car and the policeman gave him a fine. The policeman said to him it was illegal to do more than 100 kilometres when you travel along the freeway.

Tom was not happy to get the fine. After talking to the policeman for a few minutes, he started driving along the freeway once more. This time he made sure he was driving within the speed limit.

When Tom arrived at the company, they told him that his interview was to be the following day. Tom got the wrong date for the interview. He was not happy at all.
