"Awakening is a parachute jump in a dream, out of a suffocating whirlpool, a wanderer landing in the green of the morning, and everything burning" – Thomas Transtromer, "The Great Riddle"

Jiang Huanshui stared blankly at the beam of light rising into the sky outside the window, and then looked at the picture on the screen that still did not disperse, and his heart churned.

What's going on, is it really the apostles who invaded?

Who did it, it seems that there is an explosion when you listen to the sound.

He got up directly, regardless of the TV turned on and half of the meal, he was about to change his clothes and go out to see, the sky was dizzy for a while, and he just got up half of him and fell into the thick gaming chair, dark as the sky at the time of a total solar eclipse, which quickly overwhelmed his vision, and soon he lost consciousness

Jiang Huanshui had a long dream:

He dreamed of what he was born like when he was a child, the first time he came into contact with the world, the cold air was a warm experience in a very different mother's body, he felt several pairs of large hands swimming on his soft skin, rough or delicate, but for him it was just a different type of file, these files rubbed around his skin, and tens of thousands of nerve cell synapses around him transmitted pain and uncomfortable signals to his brain.

For the first time, he breathed the air of this world, and the cold air was like a blade of ice, cutting sharply from the tiny nasal cavity all the way to the tiniest alveoli in the lobes of the lungs, these knife-like air deeply pierced every nerve inside, and the tightness of oxygen combined with hemoglobin and the tearing sensation of carbon dioxide separating from the blood tormented his brain all the time.

He dreamed of himself wrapped in the futon, the rough bedding rubbed against his skin again, the threads, the stitches, like the stubborn stones on the desolate desert kept stimulating him, and it was like driving a new and light boat, but it was driving on the shallow river covered with gravel, the smooth bottom of the boat kept rubbing against the bottom of the river, and soon the scratches were all over the place, and he felt the subtle vibration of each friction and the shaking caused by the collision of larger stones.

He dreamed that the first time he ate, the first time the sweet milk entered his body from the outside world, he could feel how the food was transformed into the most basic molecules in his body, and how it combined with certain substances in his body to undergo complex chemical reactions, and finally formed a part of his body.

......

The dream lasted until the first time he felt the danger, first with a loud noise, and in a short time the ground shook, and then he felt covered by something, and was about to struggle to get up, when he woke up.

At 6:00 a.m. on July 12, 2016, Xinhuan Jiayuan, Juxing District, Pingjing

The dutiful alarm clock had just remembered the third sound, and Jiang Huanshui had accurately pressed the button to stop the alarm clock.

He had only been open for more than a dozen seconds before he felt that something was wrong.

Well, it seems like I had a long dream yesterday.

No, I shouldn't have been eating yesterday, why did I fall asleep?

Jiang Huanshui looked at the table, but he didn't find the leftovers that should have been there, and the smooth table top was clean, reflecting the early morning sun, glowing with a slight light. The photo frames, ornaments, trinkets and mouse, keyboard and mouse pads on it are also neatly placed there.

It's strange, I remember that I didn't clean up yesterday, could it be that I sleepwalked yesterday?

The guess was confirmed after five minutes, after all, no one can ignore it, and when a person wants to make breakfast but finds that the fridge is empty, most people will also think in the direction of reasonableness.

"Two packets of bacon, three tomatoes, half a packet of bread, two bottles of yogurt, three bags of milk, four yams......"

The crumpled outer packaging of milk in the trash can, the dirt and dust left in the sink, the meat foam sticking to the western knife, and the slight acidity in the corners of the mouth and mouth indicate the whereabouts of the above-mentioned food.

"Jiang Huanshui, you are a beast, there are so many things left, and you can eat raw yams."

Touching his belly, which is already not small, the curse of self-denial contains the taste of hatred of iron and steel and the escape of the ostrich shrinking.

"Why don't you become a pig, forget it, sleep and eat and sleep every day"

The self-complaining and complaining lasted only a minute, and when I went to the bathroom to get water, the pink shredded meat residue and the yellow-white yam residue in the sink fully proved the mastermind of a shameful theft case once again.

It was already seven o'clock when he walked out of the gate of the community after sorting out the instrument, and Jiang Huanshui, who had solved breakfast at the convenience store at the entrance of the community, stepped on the subway that was already slightly crowded.

Coming to the company is eight o'clock, the empty office area is lined with horizontal and vertical monitors and slightly cluttered office chairs mixed with slightly dull air, Jiang Huanshui turned on the air conditioner to adjust to 26 degrees, with the surging power of the central air conditioner after about five minutes to blow down a trace of cool breeze.

Lighting up the computer, the documents that were not closed last night are still displayed on the desktop, the progress of the semi-finished products of a total of 4578 is only one-sixth, and the main task of today is to edit the document and reach an agreement with all parties through difficult communication at the project review meeting at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

"According to the existing needs, according to the functions of the current product and can be satisfied, customized development is required. In addition, the existing functions of the three main module products of the customer's core application scenarios are not included, and customized development is also required......"

(In order to win the order, the sales are really special and dare to promise)

"For the realization of the core scenario, exclusive customized development is required, which is expected to take 3 weeks and a total of 15 working days, including 4 days for requirement confirmation and scheme design, 8 days for code writing and middleware server construction, and 3 days for testing and modification, and it is expected to be ready for initial operation in mid-August."

(There is only one development, I have to write the plan, and I am not sure when the server will arrive, and I have to find a third party on the middleware side...... ）

Among them, the risk points are: 1. At present, the middleware server is not in place, and the specific operating system and performance cannot be determined, and the performance optimization plan cannot be issued 2. The current development force is insufficient, and there may be delays in the process of code writing and testing tasks, which affects the overall delivery progress 3. The customer has not confirmed the demand, and the contract does not include this cost 4. The impact of customized content on the overall system has not been evaluated, and the later operation and maintenance aspects have not been included in the contract quotation 5. Middleware deployment relies on third-party vendors, and the deployment completion time directly affects the overall function delivery time."

(Temporary increase in demand, uncertain demand, no impact on the plan, insufficient development strength, inability to keep up with operation and maintenance, unreliable third party, blind sales promise...... ）

On the one hand, the characteristics of work documents are that they do not leave a handle, and on the other hand, they are too dead to speak, at least in this respect, Jiang Huanshui's ability to control language is as amazing as the amount of food he ate last night.

It's a pity that it's not the talent who asks the problem, but the talent who can solve the problem, and so much has been written, but in the key part, it still can't give a practical, reliable, efficient and useful solution.

But who can demand more, insufficient budget, complex requirements, poor product features, lack of development power, and even more lack of operation and maintenance power. If someone can really solve the problems mentioned above under these unfavorable conditions, then he must be a national treasure and a genius among the people.

One after another, colleagues went to work, Jiang Huanshui also greeted them as usual, in the blink of an eye, it was already nine twenty, and the number of words in the document came to 7634 words, but it still took a morning's hard work and the cost of wearing out a few tenths of a millimeter of nails, two or three cups of coffee, half a pack of cigarettes, and dozens of hairs that fell out......

He's going to be able to do this damn, boring, pointless job of wasting his life repeatedly!
