Primer volia que anés a l'aeroport per rebre un client i portar-lo al seu hotel; al cap d'una estona va trucar per dir-me que el client no venia fins la setmana següent. Tan bon punt vaig arribar al despatx em va trucar la mestra de l'escola : la meva filla estava malalta. Després de parlar amb el meu cap, vaig anar cap al parking per tornar a casa, peró vaig caure baixant per l'escala. Al final el meu cap va portar-me a casa.
