Day one. Part 2.

10.20 the lights are red for crossing the street, it is a single lane of traffic and I mentally judge the distance to the other side of the road. Too far to jump even with a running start. As I scan the area for something which might help I notice a newspaper vending machine about 3 feet high.
“Eureka.” I scream and move back to get a running start. My idea is simple I run full speed at the machine and use it to get enough height to clear the cars and land safely on the other side of the road. At the same time I would be praying that there wouldn’t be a truck passing.
Then I am off, running full speed I leap and land with my full weight on the machine. But instead of going up I find myself going down. I hear the sound of Glass shatters and metal bending as I am catapulted face first onto the street. I jump to my feet expecting to be battered by an oncoming car, but to my relief the lights have changed and I’m going to live. I now have a lump on my forehead, a nose covered in blood, cuts on my face, a limp and I’m pretty sure I am wanted for assault on an old lady but I don’t have time to dwell on this I have to get to work. As I turn to continue my journey I see two men in suites and a lady with a fur coat wrestling for the last newspaper from the vending machine I just broke. ‘Some people have no dignity’ I think as I sprint off towards my new job.
10.30 I get to the building all I need to do now is make it to the third floor after the incident with the elevator earlier I decide to use the stairs. I burst through the door to the stairs and run straight into the cleaning lady. Moments later I am in the basement lying on top of the woman, covered in dirty water with a mop on my head. ‘Damn,’ I think, ‘most people pay good money to get into this position.’ I jump to my feet again heading up the stairs three steps at a time. I burst open the door to the third floor and there it is my new place of work. I walk up and look at the sign on the door:
KELLY INVESTIGATIONS
P.I., DETECTIVE, VISIONARY.

Finally I was here my first day at a new job, working for myself which was lucky as anyone else would have fired me on the spot.
