Silvia: Hi, my name is Silvia. I'm from Gautemala.
Diego: And my name is Diego. I'm from Mexico.
Silvia: Diego, I want to ask you something. Have you ever had a really bad job?
Diego: I don't think I've had a bad job, but I had a really bad experience while working. And I was working at the World Trade Organization, and it's a very intense place to work at, and what happened is that my boss had a back problem, so one day his back really, really hurt, and we were a bit late for a meeting, but we needed coffee because when you're working you need coffee.
Silvia: Of course.
Diego: So we went to buy coffee at the cafeteria, and I asked him if I should carry his bag, and he said yes because he has the back problem, so I was carrying his bag, my bag and files, because I was an intern.
Silvia: Don't tell me you spilled the coffee on the files?
Diego: No.
Silvia: OK.
Diego: It's even worse.
Silvia: Worse?
Diego: Worse!
Silvia: Oh my God!
Diego: I was carrying coffee, files, and two laptops, or two bags and what happened is that it was a meeting. And it was a very important meeting with representatives from 153 different countries, and we were inside the meeting room and it's long, long, long, long tables with chairs on each side. And I was staggering you know through the chairs, and what happened is that I was holding the coffee, and then my bag fell from my shoulder to my elbow. And the coffee just went like Vhoo inside the meeting room, and it landed on the representative from India and ...
Silvia: Oh, my gosh!
Diego: It was horrible because we were there late, so the meeting was going on, and I spilled the coffee, burning hot coffee on the guy from India. And he just jumped and he screamed, and everybody was just looking at me, and I think it's one of the most embarrassing moments in my life.
Silvia: It is actually.
