Deep dives
Simon's New Job
Simon starts his new job at a car company, even though he hates driving. He walks to work on the first day and arrives sweating. His colleagues notice the smell. On the second day, he takes the train but arrives too early and freezes outside. At work, his boss turns on the heating. On the third day, Simon takes the bus and arrives late with a headache. He still sweats a lot and his colleagues complain about the smell. On the fourth day, Simon takes a taxi but it's expensive, leaving him with no money. He has an unpleasant day at work. On the fifth day, his car won't start, so Simon gives up and calls his boss, deciding not to go to work.
