but did not match the water logged suit&period; Guess that job was not meant to be&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Then there was turning up at the right location and the right time of day&comma; just 24 hours earlier &lpar;still better than being a day late&rpar;&period; Or getting off one bus stop too soon and then slipping over a &dollar;10 note&comma; well at least that paid for a coffee and large bun on the way home for not getting the job&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon;
