Just graduated, preparing for my first big interview in my field. I realize the appointment is at 2, not 3, and run for the bus. I run to catch it and jump aboard only to realize I forgot my wallet, and only have a looney. This bus driver says “ya that’s fine” and I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.
I go to take a seat and hang my head in shame and anticipation when I realize “Oh god I’m viewing a new apartment after this”. So I go back to the driver and ask shamefully for a transfer.
“No sweat pal, it’s going to be okay.”
I got the job, thanks to you. You beautiful bastard, you. —Sweater and a Tie
