El hombre empezó a escribir:
Todo bien...
lo borró, reflexionó y empezó de nuevo:
En general seguimos dentro de lo planes previstos, aunque no podremos conseguir todas las metas propuesta con anterioridad...
lo volvió a borrar, pensó otro rato más, y finalmente escribió:
La situación actual nos está afectando pero seguimos peleando por mantenernos a flote...
Y yo pensé: La crisis.
Por cierto, lo único que vi de París fue el aeropuerto y el hotel. Por no ver, no vi ni la torre Eiffel de lejos. Si por lo menos mi habitación hubiera dado hacia el otro lado, para una vez que estoy en la planta 15 en París...
Last week I had to fly from Madrid to Paris for a work related meeting. There was a guy in the seat in front replying to some emails during the flight. One of them was proposing some sort of new business and was asking how were things going.
The guy started with:
Everything is going fine...
after a second or two he deleted it and started again:
We are generally within the plans, although we may not be able to meet all the targets that we had committed to...
Stopped to think again and finally wrote:
The current state of the economy is having a great impact on us, but we keep fighting to stay afloat...
And then I thought: This is the crisis everyone talks about.
By the way, I didn´t get a chance to see absolutely anything in Paris. The view from the window was not bad, it was just facing the wrong side, so I could not even see the Eiffel Tower from the distance.
