Choreomania
Andrei Valerievich pushed the project away from himself. The proof-reading was completed, and Choreomania , the feeling of insecurity gradually gave way to fatigue.
“All the same nakosyachat, how to drink give, nakosyachat, – he thought. – The country of the “universal higher,” and the principle of the refrigerator for the majority is a mystery, and each installer has his own idea of which side to attach the part to. Murphy’s law on a country scale is scary. But even worse, Choreomania when it turns out that the mistake was in the project. The worker will be deprived of the prize by force, the engineer will be eaten alive. The most annoying thing is that the problem of implementation at the same time casts a shadow on the whole bureau. Claims, proceedings, examination. We will then explain to the whole team why we did not design this beam so that it could be fixed only in the only correct position. And if, God forbid, the victims? In this fucking bridge only tension cables of 16 kinds are used. You can lay a double or triple safety margin, you can provide for the destruction of one or two pillars, but a human error is a poorly predictable thing. For that matter, in any big project mistakes are almost inevitable, and everyone desperately needs such a fickle factor as luck. Moreover, these clever people from gospriemki, all strive to turn upside down. The State Commission is, of course, hard, but better so. At least, it will be on anyone to point a finger, although the extreme will still be us. ”
He got up from the table and wandered into the living room. On the way I looked in the mirror and turned away with displeasure. Putting his hand into the pocket hanging on the coat rack, he fished the mobile and, suddenly changing his mind, went to the balcony. In the street it was getting dark, the sky, tightened by clouds, brought the night darkness even faster. Delaying a couple of minutes and finding that he had inhaled enough, Andrey dialed the boss’s phone.
– Valar Morgulis! – sounded in the tube.
– Valar dohaeris.
“Andrei, you are a scoundrel!” Already looked, or what?
– No, I did not. The entire day, as a pay-boy, he analyzed the project documentation. I’m calling you to say that a couple of minor changes did not cost all these labors. But now it’s over, and I’m going to rest. And before turning off the phone and plunging into viewing a new series, I ask: what have we forgotten?
“They did not forget anything, but I wanted to ask you something.” We here consulted with the contractor and decided that it would be nice to invite a priest to the opening. And maybe on the laying of the first stone. This is now a common practice …
– I understand. It would be nice to sprinkle the project itself, “Andrei added with sarcasm.
“So I decided to ask you.” Come, be kind, to the church, you’re close there, talk with your father, to conduct a rite, and let them at the same time designate the price. And we will immediately include it in the estimate, then not to pay out of our own pocket.
“All right, I’ll come to work tomorrow.” If that’s all, then I’m off.
“Until tomorrow,” the chief said, and, as usual, the first to call off.
Andrey Valerievich, put the phone in his trousers pocket and, looking a little more at the golden dome of the Church of the Blessed Virgin, seen over the roofs of neighboring buildings at a distance of the crossbow Shot, decidedly went to the TV.
The puddle crawled along the plinth, threatening to leak under the linoleum and indignation of the neighbors from below. Larisa Ivanovna picked up the water with a towel and squeezed it into a bucket. Apparently, a large part of it was behind the culprit PE – a two-chamber refrigerator Samsung, and therefore was out of reach. “This is an infection,” thought Larissa, wielding a towel. – Why do these things never break during business hours? Why now, when shops and workshops are already closed? However, he probably broke down in the morning, I just noticed it only now and only because I stepped into a puddle, “she corrected her line of reasoning. – But it is not important. What could have happened to him at all? The Freon is over? ”
She gently patted the refrigerator on the freezer door. Then, after thinking, she banged her fist. Samsung was speechless and hung with magnets brought from Sharm el-Sheikh, resembling the sarcophagus of the pharaoh. “Tomorrow is the sutra, you will need to call the master. And now it is necessary to take emergency measures. Finish the stew even. And the freezer! “She opened the door and framed the empty pan under the cheerful drops. The water had to be collected once more. Having finished with this and milking the ragout, she washed the dishes and took out a stack of notebooks. The evening promised to be long: it was necessary to check the laboratory work of the five 9th grades on the subject of determining the gametes and genotypes of the offspring. Part of the work she had time to check in school, but still the pile remained impressive. It would be much more convenient to conduct control sequences in sequence, rather than in one day, but the kids created an on-line VKontakte channel, and the answers to similar problems appeared almost instantaneously. In addition, it was necessary to approach the controllers with an eye on the Internet, previously checking questions and tasks on search queries, which did not simplify the work of the teaching staff. The meaning of the control in the Internet era gradually transformed from ownership of the material to technology ownership, and as a result, the quality of the answers of the child writing it was strikingly different from that of the same child at the board. “And ask them, what great houses participated in the battle at Chernovodnaya – they will answer without hesitation. However, perhaps this is not the case or not only this. The generation that grew up without the Internet, is scared to death by the GMO and believes that the tomato from the supermarket is crossed with a rat – then she looked at the refrigerator door hung with magnets with images of Egyptian gods, from one of which a holographic Anubis winked playfully. “And if we accept the existence of a rat tomato, then the human jackal does not take for granted at all.”
After returning home from an ecological supermarket, Alevtina Alexandrovna immediately turned on the computer. Convinced that the courses BTC and LTC remained practically unchanged, and therefore, her intervention is not required, she went to the kitchen to disassemble the packages with products, make herself a vitaminized cocktail and at the same time figure out what to bring with her on the next day’s trip. Alevtina planned to visit the old woman Afrosya for more than a week, but the dances of the main crypto-currencies kept her within the guaranteed Internet access. BitMakler is far from being a Forex (which also had problems at the time), and now the rates were too high, so being out of reach of the network even for several hours meant an unjustified risk. She, of course, will take a tablet and a mobile phone with her, but Afrosya lives in such a wilderness that they probably will not work there. Almost everyone on the forum warned about this. In terms of marketing, of course, it was the right move. Not to the face of grandmothers-whisperers live in cities. They are supposed to walk in black kerchiefs, brown woolen dresses, forbid themselves to photograph and dwell in rickety huts. Even if for a visit they willingly accept “gifts” in bitcoins. Magic and technology are intertwined in accordance with Clark’s third law, which says that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Let’s say, Alevtina thought, – I imagine how the stock exchange works, but I do not imagine, How bitcoin is arranged; A person who understands how the crypto currency is arranged has very vague ideas, for example, about astronomy and so on. As a result, despite the fact that all together we are carriers of quite specific scientific knowledge, each of us individually resides in the new Middle Ages.
So. The “stop-loss” function is configured. There are products, dress, sneakers, sunglasses, sunblock … Everything has been packed since yesterday. She looked into the scheduler. It remains to throw everything in the trunk, and tomorrow morning you can leave. On the way, you will have to go to church and buy a dozen candles for the rite. Picking up the ipod and downloading googlemaps, Alevtina paved the route from the garage to the Afrosia hut. After a short meditation, she added the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which was nearby, to the route. So. Now you need to go to the site of the church, check the schedule and you can relax. After a few minutes, she sat down in an armchair and switched to the tab of World of Warcraft.
The hood today was buzzing with a bit of a certain humiliation. Martin Alekseevich carefully poured the contents of the centrifuge into bottles, sealed it, washed the centrifuge itself and the tools and wiped it all with a paper napkin. The work could be considered finished, when all the remnants of hydrazine disappeared in the sewer. Only after that he took off his gas mask, rubber gloves and turned off the ventilation. Even later, I made six filled half-liter bottles in a container and put it in the refrigerator. Leaving the laboratory and locking it, he climbed the stairs to the residential part of his mansion. A sound of swords came from behind the door of the living room, then a dying cry and a neighing of a horse that had lost its rider was heard. Martin Alexeyevich turned the doorknob and entered. The dog sat on a chair, stretched out over the string, and seemed to be waiting for his appearance. The left half of his face was disfigured by the scar from the burn left over from the time of the first Chechen campaign, where he served as a tank driver. The dog almost instantly stopped scanning and, turning, gave him a questioning look.
– Everything is ready, – Martin Alexeyevich said. – Let it stand for another two hours in the fridge, after that you can take it. But keep in mind: astrolit G – perishable goods. After 5 days, the warranty is removed. He gave a crooked grin.
– Thank you. Term X – tomorrow, 4 days guarantee can be returned as a bonus, – joked the Dog. – Will we check?
– Of course. But later. In the meantime, tell us why the church was chosen as the object this time
– It’s simple. Yellow Dvija says that breaking the wheel of samsara and thereby freeing sinners can be anywhere, just do it suddenly and quickly enough. But why not think about a backup option? In most religions, the believer, killed during prayer, automatically falls into his version of paradise. So why not be safe? And besides, do not show respect for the stray? This time. But two – the congestion and density of the crowd plus the closed space facilitate the task and enhance the effect.
“It’s logical,” remarked Martin Alexeevich.
“Are you familiar with formal logic?” Asked the Dog.
Martin Alekseevich shook his head negatively.
– No. My head is busy with other things. She – like the very attic, which said the famous detective, in which everyone strives to bring more junk. But I try not to. Maybe my tools are simple, but it’s in perfect order. My business is chemistry, brother.
– I like this approach, Professor. Therefore, I will not load you with unnecessary details. You said two more hours?
– Yes. – Martin Alexeyevich, moved the second chair and, turning it back to the screen, sat on him riding, putting his hands on the back and lowering his chin on them. – What did you watch? Last season?
– Yes, there are still a couple of episodes. – The dog again sat down on a chair and pressed the button “play”. – Just two hours …
