First I woke up late because I had set my alarm clock for 7 p.m. instead of 7 a.m. When I ran out of the house, it was raining hard and I didn’t have an umbrella. I finally arrived at the office, very wet and thirty minutes late. My boss was standing by my desk. “What have you been doing, Smith? Swimming?” he said. I apologised and sat down.

After Jack had called him, Colin met his two old friends and explained why he’d changed his look. He’d been for a job interview about a month before, and later had heard two interviewers talking about him in a café. One of the men was criticising his jacket. But that wasn’t what made him change his appearance.
It was because he saw himself on a CCTV monitor and realised how scruffy he looked.
