Lucky Day

There once was a guy named Tom. Tom was an ordinary man
 who did ordinary things. He woke up every
 morning at 7:15. He took a shower at 7:20. He ate 
 breakfast at 7:45. Then he went to work at 8:00. He did
  this every day. No one loved Tom—not even 
 himself. But what was there to love?
 

 
Tom got home every night from work at precisely 5:30. 
 He read the paper until 6:00. Then he ate dinner 
 alone. At 8:30 he went to sleep. Tom cried himself
  to sleep every night. This is the ordinary
  life of an ordinary guy.
 

 
One day Tom got up at 7:20 instead of 7:15. He took a 
 shower at 7:25. He ate breakfast at 7:50. Then he
  went to work at 8:05. He was late for work so 
 his boss fired him. Tom came home from work early.
  He read the paper until 4:30. Then he ate dinner alone. At 6:00 he went to sleep. Tomorrow would
  be better he said.

 
Tom found a new job the next morning. It paid better. A
  girl named Cindy winked at him. Tom got home 
 from work at precisely 5:30. He took a shower at
  5:45. Then he went out on a date with Cindy. 
 Tom came home at 10:30. At 11:00 he went to sleep. Tom smiled.
 

Tom woke up at 7:15. He took a shower at 7:20. He ate 
 breakfast at 7:45. Then he went to work at 8:00.
  Tom was an extraordinary man who did extraordinary things.
