Susan Kim is a sales manager. She is working on a big computer project in New York City. But today she has an important meeting in Washington D.C. at 3:00 p.m. It is now 9:30 a.m.
She is on the train. She's sitting next to a man. "How are you this morning?" the man asks. Susan starts to answer, but the man is talking again -- on and on.
After an hour, the man is still talking, but now Suan is sleeping. Suddently, the train conductor is shouting, "The next stop is Richmond, Virginia!" "What? Richmond, Virginia? But that's after Washington D.C., and I'm going to Washington D.C. for a three o'clock meeting!" Susan shouts. "Sorry, ma'am," says the conductor. "The next train to Washington D.C. is at three o'clock. You're going to be very late.”
