mission:possible

I think i am responsible for saving a few families from an eternal rice diet. This morning the office was very quiet. Jay and I had nothing to do till after lunch. Then the rest of the people in the office left for lunch. While they were gone, the phone rang. I thought, "This will be easy, I can just tell them that nobody is The lady on the other end said something about a job opening. I said,"No hablo mucho espanol." "Oh! English," she said, and then told me that she needed 20 people to work for her company, Banco Chile. She kept telling me more info which I was only half hearing because I was trying to think of how to tell her she needed to talk to somebody else. Finally, i was able to tell her that Lilian would call her at 2:30, and asked her for her phone number. Lilian came in about 10 minutes later and was pretty excited. The jefe was excited, too, when he heard. Roberto gave me the high five. The rest of the afternoon was very busy. We started looking up the names and numbers of all the people who had registered and were qualified and calling them. I dialed the number, got the person on the line and handed the phone to Lilian who told them about the jobs. By the time we left, we had informed about 12 people who will apply! We will continue with it tomorrow! Yea! Someone will eat chicken with their rice!

And THAT is what your mission is all about. I bet that gave you a great big warm feeling that makes all the colitis, los sandwiches de pasta de maní and the desafío with the conjugaciones all worthwhile.
