    My wife got into a car accident.

    On a sunday.

    I didn't go to the hospital.

    I had a client, and a project.

    Ready to go.

    &gt; Yesterday I was walking to an interview. There was a starving dog on the road. I stopped to feed him &amp; missed the interview. The next day I got a call asking to come in to do the interview. I was surprised, but went. Then the interviewer came in. He was the dog.
