　　The next day I got a call from the manager at this big staffing agency in our city. She was the valet guy's cousin and he asked her to call me. I ended up meeting with her in person, and after only a week she found me my dream job. Today was my first day, and it went perfectly³.

　　隔天我就接到了那个停车侍者表姐的电话，原来她就是我们当地最大职介结构经理，而且就是那个侍者叫她打给我的。职介经理亲自和我会面约谈，短短一周她就帮我找到了梦寐以求的工作。今天是我上班的第一天，进展非常顺利。

　　Be nice to everyone, all the time.
