Whose responsibility is it if you are late?
She picked up her phone and called her boss. “Hey, Michael. I’m going to be a little late. I am caught in the traffic on Juniper Street again” “Again? Janice, this is the third time this month. If you are going to drive, you will need to leave earlier.” "I can’t leave earlier, Michael, I have to take the twins to school and I can’t do that before 8:45. Besides, this isn’t my fault, all of the tourists come to the centre early so they can find a parking spot. If I could park on the main street, I wouldn’t have to drive down Juniper.”

lull
"It’s busy today,” Vanessa said while she took advantage of a lull and sat down to rest. “It’s been like this all week,” Fred replied. “Ever since the mayor closed off Main Street and opened up that new gallery, people have been flocking here. If this keeps up, I will have to double our stock for next month.” “If this keeps up, we will both be exhausted,” Vanessa joked. “If we hadn’t bought that exclusive design, we wouldn’t have nearly so many customers,” Fred said while he stared at the elegant logo that a local artist had created for him.

“If I don’t get some help down here, I am going to have to quit,” he joked as soon as his supervisor answered. Lauren sighed, “Yeah Paul, I already heard from the maintenance crew about all the trash and the broken street lights. I am talking to the city planning committee tonight.” "Well, what should I do in the meantime?” Paul asked. “There is no way I can get this street clean by myself.” “I’ll send Penny over with the garbage truck. If you two can just keep the trash cans emptied, maybe people will start to use them instead of the ground.”

“You’ve got to hurry,” Amber told her coworker. “They’ve already been waiting almost twenty minutes.” “I can’t do another tour right now, Amber,” Victor said seriously. “I’ve been walking since eight. I haven’t had any breakfast and the fountain was turned off, so I haven’t had any water either.” Amber opened her mouth to make a rebuttal, but she looked closely at Victor and saw the sweat on his brow and his bright red face and stayed quiet. “I’ll let them know the tour is delayed, but you better get out there as soon as you can.

The clerk nodded sympathetically, but Peter wasn’t finished. “And to top it all off, last night, they had a huge party right on the steps by the sculpture. They threw bottles down the steps and now there is glass everywhere. I called the police, but they never showed up. The cleaning crew never showed up either, so the whole area is disgusting, dirty and dangerous right now.” “I’m terribly sorry about this, Mr. Jannsen. I’ll send a cleaning crew out right now and let the police know about the problems. I’ll make sure the mayor calls you as soon as she gets in.”

“I remember the complaint,” Jim admitted. “It was third on our list, so we had to go to break up a fight in front of the bar and then calm everyone down.” “And then there was the broken window on Juniper street,” Karyn continued. “Somebody threw a brick, but we’ll never find out who.” “And by the time we got up to the sculpture, the partiers had gone home,” Jim said. "There was glass all over, so we alerted the street cleaners, but they are overwhelmed with work as well.” The chief sat silently for a few moments, thinking about what to do. “This can’t be,” she finally stated. “I’ll see if I can get some more officers out on the street with you. I’ll go right now to talk to the mayor.”
