You 're moments late to literally everything . You watch busses pull away as you run behind them , girls get asked out as you walk up to them , and you have never caught a green light . One day though , you arrive on time . [ WP ]

He grabbed his tie and pulled side to side, wringing the sweat from his shirt onto his neck. Andy sat on his clawed up secondhand couch, thinking about how he needed something -- someone in his life. He kicked his shoes up onto the coffee table and searched `` local animal shelters'' on his phone. He was tired of being alone; no one to stick up for him, hell... no one to stick up for. 
 
 Andy clicked on the first link and scrolled down to the phone number. As the phone rang, a call toned the line. Andy's boss was demanding that he tell him where he went. As usual, Andy gave a lackluster excuse and the boss bought it. He did n't know if they had some sort of secret agreement or if the boss just did n't care. Either way it worked for Andy when he was having an internal crisis that he needed to skip work for. Switching back to the other line, he realized he missed the call he placed. 
 
 The next morning Andy called the same shelter through his call history. They set up a meeting with 3 dogs that fit his character profile he had set up over the phone. It was 8:46am and Andy had to be at the shelter by 9:30am. He had plenty of time as he had dressed for work and called the shelter instead. 
 
 Andy, on his way to the shelter, glanced at the clock. For once in his life he was on time for something: a new friend. A new best friend -- he thought of all the great times they would have after he got off work and all of the walks he'd have to take him on. Andy was ecstatic. 
 
 As he pulled up to the shelter, that the gps had to alarm him of, Andy got out of his car and walked towards the door. A large cat decal was laughing on the door, the letters sat on the adhesive pad with the slot for the laughing cat on a fold out table near the door. Orange cables, tied in circles, were strung through the entrance and vacuums whirred through the halls. Andy thought there was construction going on, he decided to ask a worker about his appointment, after all he was on time for it. 
 
 A young kid, with a headset mic combo on, leaned against the counter with his back facing Andy. He was schmoozing the pretty shelter employee that sat behind the desk. Andy excused himself and asked them it'd they could help him set up his dog meet and greet. 
 
 The young kid said shit and ran of mumbling something into his headset. The girl looked around nervously. Andy assumed it was because of how abruptly the kid left her. Asking for the meet and greet, the young girl responded with a `` right this way'' and took Andy around the shelter without a word. He asked if they were going to see the dogs but she did n't respond. 
 
 The girl stuttered her words as she tried to, what Andy thought, come up with them. The girl was waved down a hallway by the young kid, and Andy followed her as she ran for him. As they turned the corner Andy saw camera crews and makeup trucks fixing the faces of the shelter employees. He had n't seen any of his 3 dogs yet and the building seemed empty besides those 2 kids. 
 
 One of the workers asked if that was Andy standing over by the set. The producer started cursing and stormed off as the director stood in amazement that Andy was early. They had n't set anything up for the day yet, and even all the shelter employees were just having their makeup finished. As Andy stood by himself near the shelter, a truck pulled up with 1 kennel in the back. The director waved them away and stepped down to confront his subject with the disappointed opener, `` We were n't expecting you so early?''
