The story of how I got my job was a funny one .
One day , I was  36  along a street to the interview  37  a yellow car suddenly cut in front of me .  38  another car coming in the other  39  , I had to brake hard and  40  another cyclist . We both fell , but  41  neither of us was hurt . I became angry and cycled as fast as possible to the driver of the yellow car to tell him  42  I considered him . I told him what a bad  43  I thought he was and he was a(n)  44  to other people on the road . His face turned  45  . I warned him not to drive  46  in the future so that everyone else could enjoy a long life .
I was in time for the  47  . Having walked into the room , to my  48  , I found one of the three interviewers  49  to be the driver of the yellow car . We looked at each other for a while ,  50  silent . Then I decided to look  51  the whole matter as a great joke !
I laughed and told him that I talked  52  the last time we met and this time it was turn for him to talk a great deal .
Lost in thought for a while , he  53  that I was not going to say anything about his bad driving . The interview went  54  . Two days later , I received a letter offering me the job . I was pleased that the manager—the driver of the yellow car , didn’t  55  my rudeness to him .
Through the experience , I find something that seems impossible at first sometimes turns out to be good .
