We were told that if since that morning our new employee was dividing the countries in the database into Abroad and the CIS, someone from the staff could handle the organization of the meeting for the delegation from China.

If I add a legend for indicators and a copy taking into account TOP partners, the new indicators will alert all employees.

If the employees of our department evaluate the foreign countries in the periods of activity for all clients, as it was done before, they will not be thrilled.

He said that it would be great if for several days, we were considering the percentage distribution of money and periods of activity.

I would not like if he would be told that I had been written a legend for the report for two days before the meeting started.

What would you say if you had found out that there are customers who had signed up 3 months before the audit started.

You would be never told that their top-ups for the reference period were averaged.

If I did not have another information, I would say that all data was provided without taking into account the customers of TOP

partners and branches.

Annotation

This book will tell you about one day in the life of Sofochka Ponce de Leon. Confident that she had finally broken her husband’s favorite laptop, she wants to make it up to him. The woman sets off on a difficult journey for a new computer on bumpy roads of Moscow Region.

Illustrations announcement

You don’t say!

Sonia, maiden name Utesova, and then Ponce de Leon, was married to a Latin American programmer named David, who was originally from faraway sunny Mexico.

Her husband, having valiantly graduated from the Peoples Friendship University with honors, got a well-paid job in a large Russian company.

It can be said that Sonya, was very lucky to have such a husband, because he doted on his sweetheart, was ready to do anything, or almost everything for her, depending on the amount of money in his bank account.

And that money was always a very limited amount, since Sonya had enormous needs – she wanted everything at once and, moreover, constantly. Sofia got used to dressing in style – she liked the most beautiful and expensive clothes.

At the same time, she bought new things for herself in the most expensive boutiques located in the center of the capital. And then she and her girlfriend went to celebrate another replenishment of the wardrobe to a trendy restaurant, which also very noticeably cost mister Ponce de Leon. Despite all of the above, the family lived in peace and marital idyll.

Laptop

And once Solomonida (as so David lovingly called her) cooked dinner in the kitchen, writing a post for her blog «Everything for the Blondes» and being hung up on a phone call with a friend.

Suddenly, the Ukrainian borsch, which her husband loved so much, began to boil out of the pan directly onto a clean, brand new cooker, washed to a lovely sheen on the eve.

– Shit! – Sonechka cursed out, threw the phone on the open laptop and fo- cused on her borsch.

After the minor kitchen troubles had been eliminated, she returned to the computer and – oh, what the hell! Its screen was black. Deciding that it was hibernating, she rebooted it, but that did not change the situation.

It would seem that the problem could be solved easily by calling her husband or waiting for his return from the office.

But given the fact that three days before, Sofia had cracked his ride all to hell, after which a new one was already bought, since the first one was be- yond repair, the woman felt a certain danger, and decided to deal with the com- puter herself.

Therefore, she invited her best friend, the blonde Julia, to visit her.

Diagnosis

Julia carefully examined the laptop, pushed some buttons on it, but to no avail:

– In my opinion, your laptop is dead! – she diagnosed.

– You don’t say! What am I supposed to do now? We’ve just bought a new car, and a bank credit for my mink coat hangs on David, and it isn’t only for the fur coat, he has got a lot of credits for my clothes. And this laptop is so sophisti- cated, and it’s David’s favorite one. I think this time there will be a big scandal.

– Come on, everything will work out like the last time. Do you remember when you set fire to your country house, on forgetting to turn off the iron? In general, if I were you, I would buy a new computer, just like this one, maybe David would not notice the substitution.

– Exactly! Why have not I thought of it myself? Let’s google the store and go for a new laptop until my husband returns.

So they did. However, they decided not to buy it at the store, they found a used computer by a private announcement on the Avito site, went shopping, but forgot to move the damaged laptop from the table.

It was necessary to go to the suburbs of Moscow, through trafic, by poor roads full of potholes. Therefore, the round trip took them much more time than they had expected:

– ?Caramba, maldita sea! – Solomonida cursed in Spanish. – David has been at home for a couple of hours, that makes a hundred percent, and we haven’t even reached Moscow yet.

Besides, for some reason I turned off the phone, as I was very nervous, but now it’s just scary to turn it on. David is so jealous that he can just kill me upon my returning home.

– Well, dude, a scandal is inevitable. There’s no way you’re getting out of this! As far as I remember, we didn’t hide the broken laptop, huh?

– You don’t say, shit!

On the stroke of midnight

The clock struck midnight when sneaking on tiptoe, with new laptops in her bag, Sofia entered the apartment and saw the light on in the kitchen:

– Hello, dear! Why are you so late? – a calm voice of her husband came out from the kitchen.

Hardly believing her ears, she left the bag in the corridor, put on her slippers and went into the kitchen, where David was sitting at the table, eating Ukrainian borsch with a wooden Russian spoon and watching some action movie in the same damaged computer.

Then the resourceful woman decided to ask her husband what had exactly happened with that laptop, and made a smart move:

– This morning I tried to turn it on and could not, I thought it had been bro- ken, but you did it, it’s strange!

– There isn’t anything weird, actually. Perhaps you accidentally pressed the F2 button and thus turned off the screen, that’s all.
