Well, let me tell you a bit.
0000 ANCIENT TIMES, THE DARK AGES, WHEN MY COMPUTER COULD BARELY RUN HEROES III AND STRUGGLED TO RUN DIABLO II.
"It would be nice to earn some money," I thought one day. So, I started putting up flyers, getting something like 80 kopecks per flyer. That was quite a lot at the time. My day in the first two working days went something like this: we would go around and put up these stupid flyers during the day, and in the evening, we would buy beer with the money we earned. I worked there for about four days.)))))
After that, I worked as a flyer distributor again, but for much less money. And then I had to go around all day, five days a week, and in the end, I would earn about 350 rubles. With that money, I mainly bought books.
I don't remember how long I did this, but it was for some time.
0000 THE AGE OF FIRE, BURNING RIVERS, AND THE FIRST CIVILIZATION, AS MY OLD PC WENT TO THE GREAT BEYOND.
During this time, full of hardship and sadness, I worked on the set of a TV series with the code name "noname govno o kotorom nikto nikogda ne uznaet" (noname crap that no one will ever know about).
I was paid 500 rubles for a 12-hour shift, but the 12-hour shift usually lasted 14 hours. Russia, with its generous soul, is always happy to offer extra work. Even back then, that was peanuts.
If you think that the film industry is somehow different from everything else in a good way, let me disabuse you of that notion. It's exactly the same crap, the same dirt, the working conditions are crap, everything is messed up. But at least they fed us for free! Ding! Once during a 12-hour shift, haha. I got tired of working there, even though it was somewhat amusing.
Then, in December, I started working as a finisher, renovating one of the expensive apartments in an expensive building. About 10 hours a day, I was just incredibly tired working at their pace, rushing to finish everything in a month, but nothing was ready! At that time, I would come home after work, and I only had enough energy to collapse in a chair and listen to music, sometimes I would play the first Civilization, a good game. I worked, by the way, six days a week, so it was practically an endless working hell.
I worked for a month and left due to a rather funny circumstance. I bought myself a new computer and thought, "that's enough" for now.
0101 THE IRON AGE, WHEN I WALKED MORE DURING THE DAY THAN I WALK NOW IN A MONTH. THE AGE OF THE INTERNET AND THE PRESENCE OF MONEY.
I went back to construction, repairs, and digging in the dirt, covered in whitewash from head to toe. This time, I didn't work 14 hours or even 10, but 9, and I even got a lunch break, woohoo. At first, I earned a decent amount of money for me, it accumulated, there wasn't much to spend it on, I bought a lot of books, but I didn't have much time to read, and I didn't have much mood either because of work. I was really tired. Throughout my time working here, I became incredibly nervous, but I learned a lot of new things about people. It was interesting, but sometimes it was disgusting.
1101 THE BLACK AGE, THE REIGN OF THE GRAY MIST, THE AGE WHEN MANY THINGS BROKE DOWN, TO HELL, INTO THE ABYSS.
At one point, after I left my last job, I was training to become a "nagonyal" (bouncer), doing certain three-letter things. But suddenly, unexpectedly, the moment came when I needed to get money somewhere. I worked as a security guard for a few months. In principle, it wasn't that bad, there was a lot of free time, and there was no feeling that a brain slug had settled on my head.
The end.
