How stable is your job and what's in that backpack?
Write this post I was led by memories that surged after writing my first article on Habrahabr.
Life is unstable by definition. But many of the destabilizing factors pale in comparison with life on the back of a fiery dragon called Japan.
I worked in a travel company, leading the development of a CRM system and payment terminals of a reservation system.
Two years of development yielded results, and on March 11 (life is not without a sense of irony), the director invited me to have dinner at a Japanese restaurant with a cozy and unobtrusive atmosphere in order to celebrate the birth of a new tourist project about Japan.

The dinner was delicious, thoughts of a bright future filled the heart ...
But an hour later I was standing in the building of the municipality and, without blinking, looked at the TV screen, feeling, probably, the same thing that Robinson Crusoe felt on the first day on the island.
Within a few minutes, I realized that there would be no tourists, and there would be no work in the system that I had just created with my own hands.
A month later, I was lucky to get an interview at Goldman Sachs, where the “stability of the workplace” was also slightly shaken in my eyes, but still, there was hope that the Japanese gods would soon have mercy on me. A month after the March 11 earthquake, there was a strong aftershock that caught me in the Mori Tower on the fifty-some floor right at the moment when I was waiting for the next interviewer. With an unwavering voice, they offered me to wear a hard hat and gave me a rescue backpack. Element, unfortunately, was not on my side that day. We never got to the pencil.
After receiving the coveted proposal from the main competitor Goldman Sachs, I made several conclusions:
1. Buildings are not real estate. They move
2. Earthquakes shake not only the earth, but also the will
3. Stability exists only in the head.
4. Do not run away from the interview room if you feel pushes.
5. When the crowd runs away, run in the opposite direction.
6. Hindu - trusy
Instead, I enclose a photo of my backpack, the contents of which I decided to check for the first time in 2 years of work.
Image â„–1 "Actually backpack"
Image â„–2 "The contents of the backpack"
Image â„–3 "Content Item # 4"
In order to make our communication more fruitful, I suggest guessing what it is:
Item # 5
Item # 7
Item # 8
The winner is waiting for a trip to Japan! (joke).
