Grammar

Correct me please

While I (stand) in the bank, I (meet) my old firend Sally, whom I (not see) for some time. I (ask) her how she (be) and where she (go) after she (complete) her business at the bank. She (say) she (have) nothing special (do) as she (not work) then. She (add) that she (look) for an interesting job, and (leave) her previous one because she (find) the work (bore).

my answers:
am standing, met, haven't seen.
Asked, has she been , have she went, completed
Said, had, to do, hadn't been working then.
Added, is looking, left, found, boring.

I hate these kind of grammar excercises and I suck in them. Please tell me what is wrong and why. Thanks.

The first sentence is not correct because the entire thing takes place in the past, and the pasts need to be correctly related or sequenced. In the second sentence, "asked" and "completed" are correct. " In the last sentence, "added" and "found" and "boring" are correct.
