PROBLEM: M: How do you usually get to work in the morning? ,F: I try to ride my bike most of the time. Of course, when I'm running late, I take the subway. ,M: I always seem to be 5 or 10 minutes late for everything. I drive to work everyday. So if the traffic is bad, I have to think of a new way to apologize to my boss for being late. ,F: Does your boss yell at you if you're late? ,M: No, not really. He knows that I live far away.
