Past tenses.

This happened in the summer of 1999. I lived in London

and worked in a photographic lab. I had worked in
photography but as a messenger. I had been working as
a printer for 6 months when this happened. Every Friday
we used to clean up early at 4pm. My boss would give me
20 pounds to go to the shop and get beer for everyone.
Then we would finish closing the lab and listen to some
tunes and drink beer. I remember one sunny Friday I had
taken the money and was walking up the road to the
shop. On the other side of the road there was this tall,
beautiful woman with the nicest smile. She was looking at
me smiling. Then she even waved at me. I thought I was in
luck and then.. I walked straight into a lamppost. She
smiled at me because she had realised I was checking
her out and was about to walk into the post.
I felt like a complete plonka and my body was in agony. It
really hurt. I bought the beer and went back to work. When
they asked me what had happened, my face was bruised
and my lip was bleeding, I made up a story about
running into a guy I owed money to. “Rubbish “ shouted
my colleague. He had been at the shop to buy tobacco
and had seen it all. So he told the office what had
happened and they had a good laugh while they were
drinking.
