October 5, 2012 at 17:01What does the work of an IT professional look like inside
Hello, Habr!
I read this post. In principle, everything is true, but somehow it looks very idealistic. And the real picture is probably closer to this:
Vasily is no longer a child, but also not a man. Here it is necessary to make an important retreat, Vasily is a slave. Just at this moment in the quarry, stone is being mined. Incredible heat, dust. From all sides groans, coughing are heard. The scavenger's scourge doesn't seem to stop for a minute. Basil is assigned to a group of slaves, his task is to bring water. When the overseer sees that the scream and scourge are already powerless, the slaves are allowed to go to the bucket brought by Vasily to take a few sips. Today was a significant day, Basil in between jogging to the pond helped to carry stones up. Taskmaster was pleased. Now, every day, Vasily will carry water less and less often and take up heavy stones. He can handle it!
Peter is a senior slave. He rules all the slaves of his master. His task also includes the distribution of work. To get to the lighter area, many in front of him fawn, as far as their position allows, they give Peter part of their food. Peter does not have a second of rest. The master slave in the construction of the city wall fell from the woods. An urgent need to seek a doctor. Alarming news comes from the quarry - one of the slaves at death. We need to think about who to replace, then keep the answer to the master. With any outcome, Peter knows that there will be no mercy from the master, no matter how hard he tries. In the best case, he will be deprived of water, in the worst he will receive lashes and will not be able to walk all day. But it will be later, but now we have to run, while the owner is resting after hunting in the female part of his house.
At first glance, Maria is an ordinary concubine. But no. Mary is one of the master’s several wives. For all the years spent in captivity, she managed to preserve her beauty, given to her by nature. But besides beauty, Mary is still very smart. Not a single glance of the master, the half-whisper of eunuchs, will elude her sensitive hearing. A few words said to the master at the right time, a golden ring donated to the senior eunuch and the foundation for her future victory has already been laid. Maria’s goal is to remove the current favorite and become the main one in the harem.
Vyacheslav can say lucky. From childhood, he had a penchant for fine art. And he also had the talent of a sculptor. And now Vyacheslav is in the service of the master. Paints walls, ceiling. Sometimes it decorates the halls with stucco molding. At first glance, light work. But only at first. Do not forget, Vyacheslav is a slave, disenfranchised. Once, standing on a staircase almost under the very ceiling, his master's children pushed him. Miraculously, nothing happened to him and he did not lose his ability to work. While working with clay, for the sake of fun, a guard can drag him with a whip. Well, so as not to lose vigilance. Fastidious gentlemen from the first time very rarely accept a job. Even if they liked everything. For courage, punish and make redo. This is a common thing.
And finally:
Gennady is the chief specialist in contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. He always stands guard over interests, even if at heart he is disgusted. When humanity is faced with something inexplicable, the first person they call is him. Make contact, prevent war, stop the invasion. Gennady can communicate not only with humanoid races. On his track record are negotiations with protoplasm, with civilization, living in the photosphere of the red giant, with silicon pillars. For a successful contact, Gennady needs to know and be able to summarize almost all the accumulated knowledge of mankind. This is a difficult and thorny path associated with stresses, conflicts and other joys of a modern, lived-in galaxy. But the successful resolution of problems, the satisfaction of the needs of both humanity and extraterrestrial life forms make Gennady go forward with a proudly raised head.
Gennady - a shaman, a seer, a healer. Still sometimes he can be stoned and driven out of the inn as a dirty, unclean sorcerer. But one way or another, all the lower layers of society turn to him. Talk a bad tooth, reduce pain, cause rain. If, by a happy coincidence, Gennady succeeded, everyone takes it for granted. If not, he cannot escape the punishment of an angry people. By social status, such as Gennady are considered outcasts. They do not communicate with him, preferring not to notice even the slaves. The only possible society of Gennady is the same as him.

Vasily, junior
Vasily is no longer a child, but also not a man. Here it is necessary to make an important retreat, Vasily is a slave. Just at this moment in the quarry, stone is being mined. Incredible heat, dust. From all sides groans, coughing are heard. The scavenger's scourge doesn't seem to stop for a minute. Basil is assigned to a group of slaves, his task is to bring water.

Peter, Timlid
Peter is a senior slave. He rules all the slaves of his master. His task also includes the distribution of work. To get to the lighter area, many in front of him fawn, as far as their position allows, they give Peter part of their food. Peter does not have a second of rest.

Maria, tester
At first glance, Maria is an ordinary concubine. But no. Mary is one of the master’s several wives. For all the years spent in captivity, she managed to preserve her beauty, given to her by nature. But besides beauty, Mary is still very smart. Not a single glance of the master, the half-whisper of eunuchs, will elude her sensitive hearing. A few words said to the master at the right time, a golden ring donated to the senior eunuch and the foundation for her future victory has already been laid. Maria’s goal is to remove the current favorite and become the main one in the harem.
Vyacheslav, system administrator
Vyacheslav can say lucky. From childhood, he had a penchant for fine art. And he also had the talent of a sculptor. And now Vyacheslav is in the service of the master. Paints walls, ceiling. Sometimes it decorates the halls with stucco molding. At first glance, light work. But only at first. Do not forget, Vyacheslav is a slave, disenfranchised. Once, standing on a staircase almost under the very ceiling, his master's children pushed him. Miraculously, nothing happened to him and he did not lose his ability to work.

And finally:
Gennady, those. support
Gennady is the chief specialist in contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. He always stands guard over interests, even if at heart he is disgusted. When humanity is faced with something inexplicable, the first person they call is him. Make contact, prevent war, stop the invasion. Gennady can communicate not only with humanoid races.
