El primer día de Marta en su nuevo trabajo no empezó bien. La noche anterior había preparado la ropa y había puesto dos despertadores para no dormirse. Salió de casa con tiempo, pero el autobús llegó tarde y la calle estaba llena de gente. Cuando por fin entró en la oficina, ya eran las nueve y media. Sin embargo, su jefa no se enfadó. Le explicó con una sonrisa que el primer día siempre es difícil y que muchos compañeros también habían llegado tarde aquella mañana. Marta se sintió mucho más tranquila después de escuchar esas palabras. Durante el resto del día, sus compañeros le mostraron la oficina y le presentaron a todo el equipo. También la invitaron a comer juntos y le dieron algunos consejos prácticos. Al volver a casa por la noche, Marta pensó que, a pesar del mal comienzo, había sido un buen día.
