One day I went to an interview at a project institute. I was recommended by quite influential people and I was quite calm before the interview. In addition, it was a Saturday and only those who worked on the urgent object were "sweeping". In short, there was little people and I was stuck in a large hall, looking at a healthy aquarium. And then the somik is stuck with a butt in a piece of shell and can not open the barrel. I saw him shake and then began to slow down. And something conscience did not allow me to quietly observe the sudden death, and I decided to save him. He removed the health cover from the aquarium with lighting, removed his jacket, pulled his hand out of the shirt, and began to ball down the bottom. As soon as I removed the shell from the shell and threw it back, I heard behind my back: "Have you thought?" I slowly turned around, and I was struck by four blind eyes. I could only say that Soma saved me. Those four eyes looked at me all the time. The job was offered in the end in a month, but I found another at that time and I do not regret it. Per it was the intervention of higher forces to direct me in a different direction.

So it happened in my life that I studied and lived a few years in Geneva. She communicated not often with local and not very people, because she studied with her own Russian guys, and spent time with them, or with her young man (also from Russia). And although communication with foreigners was rare, but memorable. She is a Swiss Nigerian (her parents were children of migrants, and she was already considered directly local), he is a Swiss Korean (approximately the same story with the migration of ancestors). So, she, it turns out, loved Russia very much, because her parents studied in the Union and often remembered the USSR as a country "fort et tendre" (strong and tender). He even went to Russia a couple of times. Of course, I asked what she liked or disliked most, which was unexpected for her. Her eyes burned and she said:
“I had a Russian girl who helped me on my trip and was even my guide. She travelled with me everywhere, although she was from Peter, but went with me to Kazan, Sochi, Moscow. And in Kazan, something happened that I could not imagine. We had lunch at an outdoor cafe. At the next table, an elderly woman sat and looked at me very closely. At that time I already knew that in Russia there is no such racism as in some Western countries towards Africans. So I asked the woman why she looked at me that way. I asked in English, “Where are you from?” I said it was from Switzerland. The woman shrugged her head, “No, you’re from Africa. Where exactly?” My parents are from Nigeria. The woman smiled, “Oh, now I understand. “You look like a house.” It turned out that this woman is a specialist on African ethnic groups, that her husband is from Ethiopia. We talked for about an hour, and she told me how she identified my ethnic group (house) and even told a couple of stories from her experience of communicating with Nigerians. It was so unusual for me. I could never even imagine learning more about my roots from a Russian woman than from my parents, who tried their best to fit into European life!

More and more often I catch myself on the fact that after hearing the good news, I immediately start to think painfully: and what, in fact, the underdog?

The client came into the office, holding two A4 sheets in his hands. On the sheets were black and white drawings.
Can you scan these drawings? In the color?
and no.
Why is it?
Because they are black and white.
Well and what?
We cannot physically scan a colored document if it is black and white.
But they were colored on the computer, so it turns out they have color.
Yes, on the computer they were probably colored, but you printed them black and white.
We do not have the possibility to add color to the document through the scanner if the colors were not there initially.
"But I need to make them colored, why can't you configure the scanner to the desired color mode?
“Look, I can reset the scanner, but your page — the one I’m going to scan — is black and white, it doesn’t contain colors, but only different shades of gray, so the scan of the document will consist only of gray.
What is? Why is?! to
"Because the scanner scans what it sees and can't create something that is not in principle.
You have color scanners, right?
Yes, and we scan them with colored images.
And yet I don’t understand why you can’t just scan my document in color?! to
Because your picture is black and white.
and yes! But it was colored before I printed it!!! to

Give her a glass of red wine.
I am not cleaned in my apartment.
What does this have to do?
Especially if it has nothing to do with it.
