I thought my new job was great,but on my first day everything was wrong. First I slept late. Then I caught the wrong bus. I arrived at the factory at nine instead of eight thirty. My new boss was very angry. He taught me what to do in a hurry. All I had to do was to watch a machine. It fills bottles with perfume. Then I pushed a button and sent the bottles to another worker. At lunch my boss asked me to buy him a sandwich. I bought a sandwich but I dropped it and stepped on it. I bought another sandwich. Then I didn't have enough money for my own lunch. At the end of the afternoon,I felt very hungry and tired. I didn't want to see another bottle of perfume again in my life. The next morning I arrived on time...and quit! Yes,I left the factory and didn't work there any longer!
