Ten minutes Late For Work This Monday, it’s very strange that all of our sales dept. staffs are late for work. I do not know the reason of the others’. But for me is I heard the wrong time. Normally, after taken one hour running, I only need thirty minutes to take an shower and have the breakfast. When I am eating, I asked my younger brother what time it was. He said it’s seven fifty, I do not understand why I heard what he said is seven forty. So when I finished all it was eight o’clock. I then asked him to drive me to my company. He looked at me and rolled his eyes.. Few minutes later, my boss sent a message on our sales dept. chat group ‘Don’t you guys know the work time?’ I typed quickly to reply him ‘I will be at the office soon’ Besides me there is no one answered him. I feel very strange. Ten minutes later, I came to the office and found I was the first one! Where are they? What’s wrong with today? I sit in front of my desk and thought how weird this morning..Almost half an hour, my colleagues then came in. .

Ten minutes Late For Work

It's Monday, and it is something very strange that all of our sales dept staff  is late for work. I do not know the reason of the others (You could say: "I don´t know their reason", or the reason for the others). But for me it is that I heard the wrong time (or I heard the time wrong). Normally, after taking one hour of running. I only need thirty minutes to take a shower and have the breakfast. When I was eating, I asked my younger brother what time it was. He said it’s seven fifty, I do not understand why I heard that what he said is seven forty. (You could also say: "I do not understand why I heard seven forty) So when I finished all it was eight o’clock. I then asked him to drive me to my company. He looked at me and rolled his eyes..
Few minutes later, my boss sent a message on our sales dept. Chat group: ‘Don’t you guys know the working time?’ I typed quickly to reply (to) him ‘I will be at the office soon’
Besides me there is no one answered him. I felt very strange.

Ten minutes later, I came to the office and found out, that I was the first one! Where are they? What’s wrong with today? I sit in front of my desk and thought: "how weird is this morning..(or this morning is) Almost half an hour later, my colleagues then came in. .("then", is optional here).


Hope it helped, good luck! :)
