Daily Routines
KEITH O'HARE
Helping you Become a
Confident English Speaker
The routine for the rest of his day goes something like this: he typically
has breakfast with his family, goes to work, and then comes home for
dinner. As regular as clockwork, he tells his family about his day. Then
he goes to bed, happy with his predictable life.
Chapter 2: The Switch
One day, something strange happens. Josh wakes up and goes to brush
his teeth. When he looks in the mirror, he stops and suddenly screams.
He can see a different face. Staring back at him is Nick, his boss!
Josh feels confused but he decides to go with it. As per usual, he heads
off to work. But today, he is the boss. He checks his emails, manages
the projects and even does a little bossing around. At the end of the
day, he goes home, has dinner with his new family and goes to sleep.
Chapter 3: The Employee
The next day, Josh wakes up in an unfamiliar room and he has become
someone else again. This time, he is Sarah, a new, junior employee at
work. Josh, now Sarah, goes to work. He finds out that being new is
hard. The weight of deadlines feels so heavy and at lunch he only has
time to grab a quick coffee.
At night he goes back to Sarah’s flat where she lives alone, and tries to
work out what is happening. He falls asleep, exhausted.
After dinner, Josh gets ready for bed, and pauses before the bathroom
mirror. "I’m back. I'm me," he whispers to himself as he looks in the
mirror.
But then suddenly, his face flickers and starts to change! For a second,
he sees Nick's eyes and Sarah's smile. His face morphs into the many
people he has been, not just Josh. Finally, it becomes Josh again, but he
knows something is not right.
Josh feels scared and goes to bed. He sleeps, but not well. In the
morning, he gets up but does not look in the mirror.
