get a blank sheet of paper and draw, draw a drawing of a new product. And only when the valuable thought appears on the sheet, again to meet and discuss the result of the search for a new technical masterpiece.
And all love is one joint work.
Computer screensaver revealed secrets by lightly pressing a key or mouse button. A list of the developed design documentation for the products appeared on the screen. Rimma found clean formats, they received new names, numbers, and a new product began to be born in green and white lines against a black computer background.
On the right, on the table, on metal shelves were old reference books and new catalogs from exhibitions and instrument displays. On the top shelf was a flower that never bloomed. With his bush, he hid Rimma from an employee, whose profile would otherwise loom in front of her face.
Yes, manager Alex sometimes worked in the office, and it was impossible to allow their eyes to meet while working. The foliage gently and unobtrusively hid Rimma and Alex from each other. To the right of Rimma was a favorite mug with a lid. Forget-me-nots, cute flowers were depicted on the mug, and you can’t call them flowers, but only gently – flowers. A crocodile lay behind a mug – a dark green phone tube. Rimma least used the services of a green crocodile, most e-mail.
Behind his back was an old cabinet in which new folders with drawings and documentation for new items were hidden. The old documentation was sent to the bowels of the closet and did not loom before my eyes; what was depicted in it, has long been produced and hidden by buyers anywhere from the dungeon to heaven.
Olga, a very pretty woman, came into the office. She handed out a piece of wages, stopped next to Alex. He had for her a certain attracting force. They both radiated smiles, glowed with the joy of communication. She did not linger next to the object of her adoration and walked to her workplace.
Olga for Alex – a cloud of fleeting happiness. Rimma’s gaze returned to her desk, she worked intently. By chance, she looked up over the computer and saw the sky with white clouds of clouds, and her eyes returned to work again.
Silence reigned in the office. Everyone worked. Behind the glass wall, Alex’s firm manager’s voice was heard, suddenly his voice grew stronger, and he shouted:
– Philip, why don’t you come to work? You have absenteeism and no sick leave.
In response, there was a male rumbling. Philip turned out to be a Christmas present for the company. He got a job in December. They took him as a material handling specialist, but he exceeded all expectations. A very interesting man, quite tall, well-fed, with gray hair and not bald made a good impression on everyone.
On his desk was a desktop machine for the manufacture of prototypes, on the shelf there were instruments for monitoring the finished product. His business was to lead the work of several products of the company.
The day he started with telephone conversations.
– Hello, honey, – said Philip, – we will meet at 16 o’clock at the store…
Or:
– Hello, honey, how are you? You know…
Alex looked at his neighbor on the left and did not know how to shut himself off from him. But Phillip knew that. He moved cabinets, rearranged appliances. Within three months, he erected a fortress of ancillary items. An old glass-covered table appeared inside the fortress. On the glass was a favorite phone. Before his eyes on the poster hung products of the company, but the production is not the company for which he worked. Philip did not like to work at the machine. All of Alex’s new folders were slowly transferred to Philip’s closet.
Philip filtered the water in a glass filter, heated the water in the kettle, poured boiling water into his liter mug, and threw many spoons of sugar in it. The attraction began: tea drinking in a fortress from devices. Whistling, smacking, sipping tea, Philip melted with pleasure.
Inside his fortress passed a riser with a three-phase current, the wires covered the metal casing. In this casing, Philip drilled holes to hang a bundle of wires. He had one hole, but when drilling the next hole, he managed to get into one of the wires. Shine, crackle, smell! A 380 volt toggle switch failed and the instrument test cabinet burned out. This was the beginning of the end of Philip.
Alex looked at him, and sometimes it seemed to him that Philip remained under socialism and missed perestroika.
Spring has made its own adjustments in the behavior of Philip. He only called his wife and lived in the country. Dacha punished him with dampness and cold. Three meters from Alex, there was always a man with a cough, plus tea, and even a whisper from a mini-receiver.
Tired of Philip withering in the fortress, he left for a couple of weeks, then completely disappeared from Alex’s sight.
Chapter 5
Once Olga came and said that Philip should be fired for absenteeism, but he himself refuses to quit. The dismissal event lasted five months, including the court. Alex came to his place to work, he did not drink tea at this workplace, and a thin stream of fluids was flowing from him when Rimma approached him for work.
The horizon, pinkish – reddish against a gray – bluish sky, was not as gentle as yesterday. And the personal man somewhat lost tenderness in dealing with Rimma. Primordial tenderness, whether you are married or that casual love, happens once or extremely rarely. Everything else in love is the search for the first feeling, and sex is already a mechanical process for the search for pleasure, it is pinkish-red against the gray-bluish sky and human activity.
Sometimes any peace is more precious than pleasure, it would have survived, not to love, and the happiness at that moment is the absence of depressing thoughts. That’s all the sky, the prose in life wins the love beginning of man.
Olga had fun playing cards on the computer. Among the accountants, this is the most honorable entertainment, on this occasion, manager Alex twitted at her. She was beautifully offended and lowered her eyes in her many papers. Sometimes he made her laugh, and she laughed loudly.
The sunset was different from dawn by an inverted image of pinkish and bluish color. At dawn, there is a bluish sky below, a pinkish top, a pinkish below at sunset, a bluish sky above.
If you take a small team like: Rimma and the chief, she felt a hundred times that he shouldn’t contradict and argue with him very carefully, although he is not armed, but he is so dangerous, dangerous in anger if he is not listened to. The main he.
And in a warm country, people completely forgot about their own safety. Wanting is not harmful, but sometimes it is very dangerous. So, the chef talked. Rimma turned away from the computer, she had to listen to a man without a murmur, jerking. What was he talking about? Do not believe about the meat factory. There was a time when people in the store shouted to the seller that there was paper in the sausage instead of meat.
And Rimma had to learn the truth about the sausage.
In his youth, the chief came to work at the meat-packing plant, where his uncle, a respected person in the team, already worked. For this reason, it was easier for him to join the difficult team. He worked more often at night to tidy up the equipment. The years were not very well-fed, but in the meat factory meat was full. Eat – I do not want. The guy is skinny. The belly is small. He could not eat a lot of sausage.
The meat factory thundered all over the country with its advanced technologies, cleanliness and order in the workshops. Even the clinic, standing nearby, shone with these qualities. And there was a personal sanatorium for the employees of the meat processing plant. They built the building in the pre-war years, the building was Komsomol. Everything is done firmly and fundamentally, forever.
Next to the chef, a fat man worked, his stomach could hold more than one kilogram of sausage. It was not allowed to carry products from the workshop to the workshop. The modest chef endured a bit of sausage in his own working mitten,
