MAKING APPOINTMENTS

Today was a very good day for me, I had been looking for a new job for quite a while. I listed my name for a few employment agencies and was given infomation about several positions, but I wasn't interested in any of these jobs. Last week I filled out an application form for a new company in town and arrange for a personal interview. Several men were interviewed for this job, and I didn't know if I would get it. This morning someone from the company called up and asked to see me at two o'clock. When I came into his office, he told me that I was hired. I shall begin working on next Monday, I know I like this job. I shall be paid very well and my work will be extremely interesting. I was feeling so happy, I decided to cancel all my appointments for the rest of the days, and I went right home to tell my mother the good news. But before I could say anything to her, she told me what a bad day she was having. None of the lights in the house was working. She had telephoned many electricians, but they said they were to busy. Finally, one of them agreed to come, and she had been waiting for him almost all day. When I was able to get her trouble over and listen to me, I told her about the new job, and we planned to make a special party among our family and we made up our mind to forget about the electricians,  and we decide to celebrate until dawn. Then we wouldn't need any lights any way.
