I work as a translator in a joint Russian-Japanese production.
Yesterday, the director decided to bypass the production.
Look at the programmers: there is no team leader! He appeared two hours later - as he appeared, again came in,.
After that, the director (more or less speaking Russian, but not very well) asks: "And how is it - the alarm clock sat down and got up? Can you sit and get up at the same time? And yet another non-living object..."
I laughed. I explained. The director sneezed, then gave out a wonderful thing - remind him to change the battery in a year.
I went to Siddhartha and explained the task. The young man, Russian, laughed and sneered.

The next morning, the director meets up at the shuttle, we go to the programmers together. Tim-lead is in place, the computer loads. The director kicks, says something like "this is how you should work".
Here the computer starts.
Instead of the usual login, a window appears: "There are 364 days left before changing the battery in the alarm. Enter the number of remaining days and press "ok"."
Translated to the director, he still smiles, only wider.
Tim-Lid stands in a titan, looking at the inscription. Enter a number in the field to enter, the computer loads.

But the director’s joke liked it, apparently he will look out the window again.
