Anya: Oh, yeah? What’s the good news? Clint: My company has had a banner month. Since we launched our new line of software, we’re having trouble keeping up with demand. Every product is flying off the shelves. Anya: Wow, that’s great news. Everybody I talk to is singing a different tune. Foot traffic is down and business is slow – really slow. Clint: That’s too bad. I thought that Yao’s company was doing brisk business. Six months ago, he was selling a line of cell phones that was all the rage, and customers were beating down his door to get one. Anya: That was six months ago. It’s a different story now. Those cell phones are now considered passe, and he has inventory he can’t unload. You know how fickle the market is. Clint: I’m sorry to hear that. How about you? How’s the travel business? Anya: Why do you think I’m sitting here crying in my beer? Pull up a chair and I’ll tell you my sob story.
