The Verb "To get"

TEXT 

BILLY GATES EARLY MORNING SCHEDULE (by Billy Gates). 

Last night, I got really tired. 

I got in late - at 12 o´clock. Before I got to bed, I got a shower, but the water got too hot, so I got out of the shower, got dry, and got to bed. 

The next morning, I got up really early, at 6. I got downstairs, got a kiss from my wife, got out of the house, and got into the garage, where my chauffeur had got the door open for me. 

He got in and I got in. Before I got to work, my secretary called and told me that I had got a lot of faxes. By then, I realized that I had got a cold but would get over it quickly. 

When I got up to my office, things were getting worse. Ten reporters were waiting for me. I couldn´t get around them. Already, I had got tired before I got through the first 2 minutes of my working day!
