Why it never ends

However, there is no such thing as a big week, because no one can work 40 hours a week.Even if someone wants to actively work for 40 hours, it is impossible to do it-a lot of work here is intricate, and a task is often assigned to two or three departments to assist at the same time, and each department has very different responsibilities. limited.

This division of labor keeps anyone in check. If others don't work, you won't be able to work either.Excluding the time spent drinking coffee and chatting every day, I conservatively estimate that the working hours of public officials in Wulian are about 28 hours to 30 hours a week.

I really don’t understand. I think that in Askia, everyone’s attitude towards work is diligent and diligent, because work is not only a means of living, but also a means of constantly making oneself more complete and striving to find one’s own mission. the process of.Taking a paycheck and wasting your life for the foreseeable future...that's irritating!
They have no idea how rich and rare the material life they are currently enjoying is. For some of them, the existence of the wasteland is a "curious story" whose authenticity needs to be tested, and chelation disease is the government's One of the "conspiracies" that were exaggerated to "restrict civil liberties".

Thinking of the blood shed by so many people in the wasteland...I don't think I'll ever be friends with these people.

I'm already thinking of you crazy.

Email subject: Shocked! The excellent mercury needles inside AHgAs are determined to become equally excellent decoration workers

Dear Jane:

Yesterday, I just received the work evaluation from the headquarters for the last quarter, and the result was A++ (although it is a very rare result, but it is also within my expectation.
The old house you mentioned in the last letter, I decided to buy it after much deliberation. The procedures really took off my skin.Because I am not yet an adult, I can only entrust the logistics of AHgAs to purchase the property in the name of collective property and donate it to my name. There are still five years before I actually get this house—20 years old!I am really looking forward to her arrival!

Although this old house has a beautiful back garden, it has a history of nearly 200 years. If you want to move in, the first thing you need to do is to renovate. I can only do this by myself, you know why?Let me tell you a little thing, and you will understand.

Last month, the balcony of my office leaked, because I usually like to work on the balcony, so I immediately contacted the secretary to fix it. After seeing it, the secretary said that it was not an "emergency" damage, so I could only Submit the application first, and then wait in line for a repairman to come down from above.

I asked how long it usually takes, and the secretary checked the system and told me seven months.

I said no, I can’t wait so long, the secretary was exhausted by me, and finally she thought of a trick: I contacted a mason from a house repair company to come and repair it first and pay the money in advance. I can leave for related expenses "Office loss" is reimbursed. Although the money still has to wait until the end of the year to be reimbursed, at least I can find someone immediately to solve the problem of rain leakage on the balcony.

Do you think this is the end?Do not!

I made an appointment for the mason three days later, and the appointed time was 9:00 in the morning. As a result, he appeared at the door of my office unsteadily at 9:25. Then, he took a ladder to the top of the balcony to have a look, and told I didn't send a repair today, for some reason or another, this is not an ordinary leak, he didn't bring enough materials.

The next day, he arrived late at 9:44. This time he was probably ready. After adjusting the necessary things, he went to the room and started working. I listened to him singing for almost an hour. At 10: 30 He comes down and tells me I'm halfway done, but since tomorrow is Saturday, he'll be back next Monday at 9:30am.

On Monday, he finally showed up on time at 9:30, but this time he was in the room for less than half an hour, and it started to rain. He packed up his things and was about to leave, saying that the weather is bad today and tomorrow will continue - I refused With this proposal, he paid half of his wages and told him to leave immediately.

Then, taking advantage of the last half hour before get off work, I went to the nearby hardware store to find the proprietress and bought a piece of rainproof felt and half a bucket of asphalt. I went up to the roof and found the place where the rain leaked. Got the problem out of the way.

I used to think that "professional things should be done by professional people" is the truth, but who can judge whether a person is really "professional"?I have already borrowed several related reference books from the library for the decoration of the old house. This time, I will try it first anyway, and wait until I hit a hurdle that I can’t get over.

Do you still remember that once before, you, Turan and I were chatting together in my room?At that time, we talked about the quarantine measures on the wasteland. I once said that the two chelate tides were a wake-up call for people in Habitable Land and other wastelands. Now I have to take this sentence back, completely take back.

In the past six months, I have been suppressing some anxiety and anger. In Wulian, most of the epidemic prevention measures are ineffective, and people deal with these things like a drudgery.If there was a sudden outbreak of chelation disease here today, I dare say it will only sink faster and more completely than the wasteland.

I shouldn't say that, because it's my job to prevent this from happening.But I still think we're stuck in a kind of paradox - at the very beginning, we put in hundreds of effective lines of defense related to chelation, and even if one line of defense fails in extreme cases, the remaining ones can still keep Danger is out.

Because of this, the livable place can be impregnable and become an extraterrestrial Eden.However, the better the people here are protected, the less they are aware of external dangers, and the less they realize that some small changes are closely related to everyone here, the more lax they are.

When the defense line crumbles from the inside, it doesn't take much external force at all - it will collapse on its own.

Hey, let’s not talk about this, my life in the Habitable Land is really difficult... But if you think about it, at least until the day you officially leave the base, there will be a well-groomed Askia-style courtyard here Please drink afternoon tea.

Looking forward to that day and wishing you all the best.

your friend who is evolving into a mason

Hesta looked back one by one, and each of Liz’s emails wrote about some small things in her life, such as being troubled by not being able to find a common topic with her colleagues because of the large age gap, and occasionally using mercury needles. The identity participated in the local police's siege against criminals and successfully rescued the hostages. There were even a few irritating moments when she had to go through the detailed documents of the cooperation program between AHgAs and the coalition government. The whole cumbersome administrative system against...

Stories like this are vivid and vivid.

For almost half a year, Liz has been working hard to get familiar with Wulian's government structure and security structure, and she finally got a sense of enlightenment recently.At present, with the help of another mercury needle from a neighboring province, she has started to restart the chelating bacteria monitoring plan in the province that has been abandoned for several years.

After reading the last letter, Hesta put the phone close to his heart.

It can be seen that Liz's six months have been difficult but also wonderful.
