He told us life and miracles, and his last job was that of housekeeper and cook for nothing less than a former colleague of Olot, who held the office of Chief Engineer of the Port of Barcelona.
I contacted by telephone.
- Hello Joseph, what you served as Lucia?.
"Well, look, very industrious and formidable cook. During my singleness was the real housewife.

"Yes, I know. For two reasons. One, the main one getting married, but the trigger, the overwhelming trend is even no need to lie. Then when it comes to story, inventing trivial matters. Imagine a person. I had it for five years. Every weekend, after finding one, and go to Olot with my parents, was rampant. He did it with his beloved as I discovered late. I had a thousand and one stories to explain the anomalies observed at home, after my absence.
"So, that is not legit?.
I told my friend that total was reliable in terms of honesty and work efficiency. The issue of having a loved one was separate matter.

Until the day a neighbor told me that in my absence there appeared a family of Lucia.
That was what I was drinking cognac.

was delighted, as I do. Was efficient in the treatment of children and ironing and sewing, which she hated. Not to mention the kitchen. It was a real cook. No complications, but the warning is for my friend, from time to time we let go a championship lies, that led nowhere.
Both the pitcher goes to the source ... ... ... As the saying with all his reason ... ... .... that finally breaks.
One of his fables, involved Tere once accompanied the children to school. Well, for me, I rested. I cared a hoot. Apparently
Tere told another story, linking to me told me, concerning me. It seems inconsequential. However

As we were in June, the children would begin the holidays. We stand at least until September. Lucia maximum foreseeable nuisance that we could cause would be the weekend. Cubera us to be free and she would repeat what counted in Barcelona for my friend.
It did not take any precautions. Upon learning that the family moved in the summer for the three months pass in the complex, was she who fired us, because leave was not thinking of Barcelona.
again plunged to the setbacks. We did not get replacement before the holidays start. We manage somehow with the help of a woman Cubera chores. As the children there was rampant, the work they gave was minimal. The parts of clothing was limited to pants, shirts and swimwear. Nothing board, nothing to sew.
Well, sometimes we had to sew the skin through scratches and cuts produced games.

Urbanization works, absorbed all my capital. Had to open miles of ditches for total water network, installing pipes, fittings provide for individual connections. The company I hired, not walking by halves. In advance will be charged about half of the total work.
same thing happened with the street lighting. And sales were not kept pace. To meet the millionaire bills Sales also needed millions. This threatened the continuity of works. But if they stopped the work, ran another risk. The social, catalog sales scam.
No choice but to imitate the competition and make an extraordinary campaign.
came to my mind the number of housing estates, some of which I myself was involved in the layout of the subdivision, after selling almost all of the farm, left without the promised infrastructure.
The field shall be available to a land without a license to build. And worse, no sign of streets or minimum services like water and electricity.
So advertising campaigns invested a lot of money. The net benefit. Pocketed the money to be spent on construction.

both in a single month, the vendors made their full-year in August. And employees in accounting, were invaded by mountains of letters to be filled.

This was not my intention. Once the work settles, I wanted to proceed with the decommissioning reasonable organization of the Cabinet and without subcontractors.
But resounded in my ears, the words of Tere:

Anyway I give up. I canceled the campaign. The savings were immediate. Its result would be noticed for several months without it.
What happened was lower customer traffic. Then I needed fewer vendors. There were fewer sales. Accounting personnel, could be reduced. To languish the euphoria of the months of campaigning.
Bankers, missed the influx of paper at a discount to which they had used. They insisted that I used my credit line because not everyone had that opportunity. I was really substantial business. With thousands of letters delivered to them on the fingers of the hands to have gotten refunds. Even then they were rescued. Total that had a premium paper.

I propose that for mutual benefit, the discount you by us. We offer a 5% plus bank charges.
I do not know who suggested will come to me for that issue. But you know, I have no further interest in occupying my online discount. Moreover try to retain most of paper product of my own sales.
-Look in a different light. It helps to colleagues who need fluid to continue in business. Look for I leave once they are granted, paid to us minus the bank charges 18% plus 7%. We settle it with 75% nominal net.
-not insist. I'm not interested.
"Okay. I do not insist, but since we can not submit to the Bank, and I leave you when it deems necessary, inspect them and use them. Are accepted. Again in a few days.
"I say no ... ....
No more were dismissed, leaving the package without even leaving card. resumed my attention on the work interrupted by Mr How said his name was ....?. No matter. I put the letters in the top drawer of the bureau, to return them when he returned.
-Tere, comical look at that case. Developments in the usually sell more than what I get with ours. And the owners manage to not risk anything, paying the vendors with their own lyrics.
"Do thou likewise.
"It is time to implement this method. With the few sellers who have, as normal would be lost completely.
