Buying Tv After Super Bowl

[Mis memorias... de la crisis económica del 2008]

My First Job Life was a builder, my boss at that time was a civil engineer, he company was small, with few staff and we were devoted to making government tenders and bids.

Holy Week 2008 my boss decided to leave me in charge of the company and go on vacation, was not the first time and I appreciated confidence. He has always been very organized and let me clearly listed everything I had to make and revise in its absence.

My boss was the Tuesday of that week, leaving everything ready with a check for 10 thousand dollars to buy materials and pay the builders.

He said "Cobral tomorrow
Me: According !

In my house, my mother had gone to visit my grandparents the ranch, so I was the mother substitute, which included more than anything to provide food for the 2 chubby (dad + brother) and me, course!

On Wednesday I started with my orders, I went to work and attended the outstanding, nothing unusual. Struck 2:30 and I was starving, so I decided not to cook and go to the office directly for a bucket of chicken Kentucky. I remember I was so hungry that I ate a little leg on the way home.

The next morning the first thing on the list was to buy and carry materials to work, so the first scale was the bank to cash the check ...

good starts here ...

was closed! 9:30 am and the damn bank was closed ... was Holy Thursday, and would not open until Monday!

total panic! " " What hell was going to do !?!?! My 300 pesos
held not going to solve anything ... ok ok ...
think ...
whole life had been at home check cashing exchange for 2% commission (40 pesos, ok, I can with it!) threw me the most close y. ..

Me: "Hello, good morning! Apology " I could cash a check? ( faced please please!)
She: " "Where are you from?"
Me: From "Technical Group of the Sun" (Company Name)
She: " " are registered with us? "
Me: "I think not ..." She
: "I can not change you a check if you have not registered, do not know who they are, I have nothing to guarantee me this check"
Me: "Right, uh ... well thanks! " ( course! test # 2 that 'm a fool!)

I wanted to disappear from the earth, X my salary, the people! " " How they going to say that they would be able to pay because I'm well calibrated!?!?

And my mother, the only one I could help was far away incommunicado! I called one she Plantié my plight and tells me he has to consult with her husband, but she believes that at most I would pay 5 000 ... I was on the verge of hiperventilización, that was not enough not to pay people!

Ok ok, calm ...

grab my cell phone contact list and start looking for my friends wealthy ... A, B, C. .. H. .. anything! I became convinced that none had the money or ask the mega favor, then I got to the Z. .. the Zague ! my friend, was organizing an event and would probably have on hand the money, I lose nothing by calling him ... with zero problems ... told me that if!

I swore on Monday it would have it ...

I went for the money, my sugar went back to a reasonable level, I did everything I needed ... and well, the first thing Monday morning I went to cash the check ...

and gentlemen, nothing happened here! Saaafe !

long ago do not look at Zague, but always always be the one who saved the Holy Week of 2008! ! (And probably my job)
