Acquisitions

This my daily routine. I get up, have a shower, have a breakfast, dress up, kiss my spouse, get to my old vehicle and get to work. I sell used cars in a small shop. I'm not the best dealer, but I quite like it, there's no need to hurry even if the day's busy. I like just sitting behind my table, thinking about the lovely sunny afternoon outside, looking forward to going to cinema to watch the new movie. I really like my job, even if I don't get paid as I used to. Well, the sums on my paychecks used to be very different back then. But my life has changed a lot since then. This was my daily routine. I woke up very early, had a shower, dressed up, made four phone calls, check my e-mails, almost caused my assistant heart-attack, drank 2 extra strong coffees, made three important appointments, made my driver nervous and finally got to work (everything in schedule: 10 minutes). I used to be a CEO of an important bank. Extremely expensive perfect fitting suit, head full of plans and a glance that could easily kill somebody too slow, too inefficient, not assertive enough. I used to work 15 hours a day. I was successful and made profit all the time. But it all changed. Suddenly, economy was slow, market performance was poor, word loss buzzing in my head every day and night. Some employees got fired, we cut our expenditures, but we were still in red numbers. And than I got fired. The bank braced its energy by being taken over, hired a new CEO with glance that could easily kill me. But I'm not complaining. I can much more enjoy every single day.
