Punctuation in paragraph
Hi,
Could you please correct the punctuation in the following paragraph?
It was almost ten o clock when I woke up. My alarm clock was connected by radio to some sort of N.A.T.O. supercomputer and was guaranteed accurate to one millionth of a second per century. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn it on before I went to sleep. "Great," I said to myself as I rushed down the stairs, "that’s just what I need."
Fortunately for me, the buses aren't very crowded at that time in the morning, and I got to work in less than half an hour. "Ah, Mr Anderson," said my boss, "working flexi-time, are we?"
"Sorry," I murmured, "I was at the dentists."
"Well, if youd let us know in advance," he said as he wandered off.
Thanks.
