I work in the laboratory of the scientific center, yesterday a retired employee, and she told the story of her device to work, further from her face.

In 1985, I was 30 years old. I heard from colleagues that in one of the laboratories there is a good vacancy, in addition, soon you will be able to replace the head of the laboratory, who was at the time about 50, because every day he stated that he was tired of this and is about to leave. He conducted intelligence, like everything is, the chief - Vladimir Ivanovich - at the age, in addition to the absence of serious competitors for the place of the chief. I came to talk to the manager, he immediately treated me well and said, "Finally, it will be to someone to transfer our business."

I arranged to work here, he started on me every year more and more of his duties to transfer, so say, prepared a successor, and I - a fool - happy, young, ambitious! As a result, somehow imperceptibly he transferred all his obligations to me, but he himself did not want to go anywhere and even somehow flourished and forgot about all his dissatisfaction and pain.

I waited all and thought that my hour would soon come, and here it is, I am retired, and Vladimir Ivanovich is still the head of the laboratory, although he is about 80, and now he is not going to go anywhere, despite the fact that he is talking about it every day.

In the end, we drank for the ambition and good health of the boss!
