The alarm is set for 07.00 but I wake up early. It is 6.30.

I am excited and
nervous at the same time.

It’s Monday and today is the day I start my new job.

I get up and take a shower. Then I have breakfast. I am not hungry but drink
some coffee and eat a banana. I make myself a sandwich for my lunch.

I go to get dressed. I choose a smart suit and blouse. I look in the mirror. I
think I look too formal and change my mind. I find a dark coloured dress and
matching jacket and feel much more comfortable.

I clean my teeth and put on some make-up.

I find my car keys and then check the time, and realise that I am very early. It
is 07.15 and I start work at 08.30!

I decide to leave anyway as I don’t know what the traffic is like at this time. I
say goodbye to Peter and Henry.

I arrive in good time, at about 08.00, park my car in the car park, and make
my way to the door of my new office. It takes me 3 minutes to walk to there.

I knock on the door. My boss, Janet, comes to the door and lets me in.
Some people are already working and she introduces me to my new
colleagues. She says, “This is Sarah. She’s the new office manager”.

Everybody is very friendly and they say “Hello”, “Hi” and “Pleased to meet
you,” as I am introduced to them.

Janet shows me where the toilets are, and the kitchen, then she shows me
my desk. I sit down to start work.

I have a lot to learn and the morning passes very quickly.

Before long, it is lunchtime. I decide to go to the kitchen to eat my sandwich

and make some coffee.

I open my bag and I look inside.

I empty out my bag. I look at everything I have taken out. Where is the
sandwich?

I look again. Still there is no sandwich.

Just coffee for lunch then.
