My Worst Day at the Office I had started working in the office of Mathew Brothers three months ago as assistant to the production manager. I liked my job, which involved answering the telephone, writing emails to customers and filing all the papers that Mr. Carson, my boss, gave me concerning quality control. But one day, everything went wrong. First, I put the new documents Mr. Carson gave me into the paper shredder, thinking they were the old ones. Then I poured coffee all over the letters that I had just typed and was just about to take to Mr. Carson to be signed. When our key customer from China rang asking to talk to Mr. Carson, I tried to connect him, but cut the connection instead. When he rang back, he was not very pleased even though I apologized. At lunchtime I managed to pour my soup onto the last page of the book I was reading (I will never know who the murderer is now!).After lunch things went OK until I was back at the paper shredder. I put in a pile of papers to shred but didn't check if there were any staples in the papers, and so broke the shredder. When Mr. Carson asked me to copy a document onto an overhead projector transparency for his talk the next day, I used the wrong transparency (apparently you cannot use all the transparencies on a photocopier!).It burned and did serious damage to the photocopier. That was when I decided to go home before I did any more damage and lose my job. Notes: paper shredder 碎纸机
