Today was a very good day for me. I had been looking for a new job for quite a while. I listed my name at a few employment agencies and was given information 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 arranged 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’ll begin working on Monday. I know I’ll like this job. I’ll be paid very well and my work will be extremely interesting.
I was feeling so happy, I decided to cancel all my appointment for the rest of the day, and I went right home to tell my wife 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 were working. She had telephoned many electricians, but they all said they were too busy. Finally one agreed to come and she had been waiting for him almost all day.
When I was able to get her to stop talking about her troubles and listen to me, I told her about the new job and we made plans to go out for dinner and then go to the movies and perhaps go somewhere else after that. We made up our minds to forget about the electrician and decided to celebrate until dawn. Then we wouldn’t need any lights, anyway.
