TWO MINUTES LATE
“If you wanted to the job so much, you should’ve been here
on time,” Dr. Peñaherrera barked at Amanda Salas with his neighborhood cop’s
tone of voice. Amanda Salas tried to convince him that she had arrived five
minutes ahead of schedule, but the doorman sent her to the wrong building and a
two-minute delay wasn’t such a big deal after all, but it was useless. She
left, upset since the commute to the center of that unknown city had taken her
more than an hour. A few years later, Amanda Salas, owner of her law firm,
found Dr. Peñaherra’s resume in a pile of employment applications.
