So, 9 o’clock in the evening, I go outside with that seamstress. And the weather there is so nasty, when there is water in the air, and the wind blows that water into your face. In his grandmother’s village, a boy said about such weather, «It’s as if God is peeing on your face for your sins.»
My phone starts ringing, I can’t answer it because my hands are busy with sewing. I look at the clock to see that someone unknown is calling and also in the messenger. This unknown person has been calling all 20 minutes while I’m going to the garbage can (the phone doesn’t stop ringing for a minute), it seems that all the auto-dials in the world have been turned on against me.
By the time I got to the trash can, the phone was discharged to 0. And I still wanted to go to the store, but so that I could pay with a card from the phone. I go home, put my phone on charge. I turn it on, I see 35 missed. And the same number calls again. I pick up the phone and simply ask: «What?»
Then the dialogue:
A very angry message was sent to the work chat today about why you can’t give my personal number to anyone and that there is a work number for that. Whether I am a professional or not, everyone has their own opinion. But I definitely want to maintain a work-life balance professionally.
