Inflation, inflation, hyperinflation everywhere!

 What's a resource going to do when all prices rise sharply? Spend less, consume less and hope the wage and job last enough...

 I was out for shopping at a hypermarket and I met Danny, he was carrying a small basket with a few products:

- Seb this is crazy, everything is double in price, everything .. I just took several small items and the price is already close to 100 EUR.

- It's tough, prices going crazy everywhere, war in Ukraine raises them even more like there is any sh*t actually made in Ukraine ... 

- Yes man, this is bogus. They are keeping us poor on purpose. I just had a raise this year and now in real value I can actually buy less with the increased salary than I bought last year... 

- Forget about it, I am just in a hurry to finish shopping until they are raising the prices as we speak...

Suddenly Danny's face went pale and he said : You're right, make a run for it! And he went quickly to the cashier to pay for the products.

Pandemics hit!

 That day the boss arrived at the office even later than usual, he looked annoyed and stressed. He walked a bit around his desk and finally opened his laptop.

 Me and Chris were already digging through emails quietly for several hours , now we knew that our quiet was gone. We still pretended we didn't notice a thing.

 Bursting with anxiety the boss finally talked:

- Covid is spreading, is spreading like crazy! They can't contain it, it's off ! It's off I tell you!

He panicked and navigated to a news site, the prime minister should make a statement, it's a crisys.

Next to me Chris felt somehow reliefed, for the first time in many weeks he didn't have to stare in the boss's shoes resting on his desk half a meter from his face. He nodded and said:

- I hear they recommend working from home...

- It's madness the boss yelled, they say the economy will shut down, they talk of quarantine and locking people in their appartaments! If it gets worse I am thinking to go to a mountain cabin, I will be safe there...

I couldn't help smile seeing the cowardice displayed by the same guy who used to show off as being distant and relaxed all the time, he was a mess :))

- Pack a lot of cans, food for a year, move up the mountain with the family, stay there with no contact... he mumbled on and on ...

I smiled again and went for a coffee. When I was back there was an emergency commitee lined up near his desk all agreeing we should work from home starting immediately. I packed and went home, all good!
