Answer: He did not always work for the subway. He used to work in an office.
Explanation:
In the story Taken by Surprise
, written by Edward I. Maxwell
, Tim's experience of working in the subway is described.
Tim likes his job in the subway - he loves the tunnels and rails, which, to most people, are disgusting and dirty.
Tim had a different job before - he worked in an office, which the author describes as "cramped":
"He used to have a job behind a cramped desk, in a cramped office, working with cramped people who couldn’t imagine much beyond their cubicles."
Tim's colleagues lacked imagination and could not understand why Tim liked being in tunnels.
