IN: I really thought it was more recent than that , but I knew it was before they took over Scotty 's and that I had at least two flats and patches since getting that set of tires . With luck the new tires are replacing ones that were patched , but who knows , since I get them rotated regularly . There real surprise was that three years and four months only translated into 20,000 miles , even with all of the travel I have done ! ! The Tire Depot people thought I had a good attitude about it all , but I was just grateful it happened now and not while I was on the road .
Why was the narrator grateful that their tires needed to be replaced ?

OUT: Because the tires had n't given out on a business trip .

IN: They packed up their paper work , did n't see anymore interviewees . A job well done ) Now that was a major ego boost for me . ( Even when I called a meeting to say that I was gong they where in tears ) It 's my dream job not as a junior nor at the top but in the middle . Gives me some space to find my feet and move myself up higher .
What was the reason for cancelling the interviews ?

OUT: I made a great impression .

IN: If I had to choose a pet , it would be a cat . I used to have some cats . I am a huge cat fanatic . I used to have one named Diamond that was so unique that I just loved her .
What may be my favorite type of pet ?

OUT:
cat
