The Financial Crisis

Like I believed at the very beginning, the financial crisis did not spare China.
Almost three months into the disaster, China was beginning to feel its bitterness.
It now takes the company longer time to prepare our payroll.
Lucky that I was an eight-level worker, as per the regulations, staff at and under level eight are entitled to get salary two days later than usual; the rest of the staff will have to wait a little bit longer.

I am running out of bathing lotion, unfortunately, next month I can only afford a soap.
On balance, the I am not so much victimized by the catastrophe as those financial magnates, steel magnates, and many other moguls.
