About the book: year / We were all sitting in the workshop, starting at 08:30, when we first arrived at work. From time to time, after a bark from the selector, one of us rushed to do the assigned work: change a gasket or a fuse. We often went for a smoke break; my workmate talked a lot about women; I assented, mercilessly swearing at the prostitutes. Moreover, I personally had a reason to do the same. You know, I was proud of my workmate!
