Mood and work

Humor writers quite often write stories and feuilletons about what happens when a cook or a hairdresser, a sales clerk or a cab driver do their job badly and spoil people's mood. Here is one such story about how mood and work are connected. Mood and work

Just rude

A cab driver who was driving a hairdresser in the morning just rudely insulted him. The angry barber, whose scissors were falling out of his hands because of this, gave the shoemaker a bad haircut. The cobbler, whose whole day was poisoned because of this, nailed the heel of the salesgirl crookedly.

The salesgirl, of course, because of this very upset, scolded for nothing the cook, who came to buy a tie for the holiday.

The cook, who was out of his mind, salted the soup too much, and the tired cab driver, the same one who insulted the hairdresser, who came to the canteen for lunch, swore for a long time: they don't know how to serve a person properly. You work and work, and they can't even feed you properly. He didn't realize that the over-salted soup was just payback for his rudeness. Lumberjack Road The moral here is clear - people, serving each other, often do not realize that their own lives and moods depend on how they work.

Each of us has often seen how a person's mood, and often the work he does, depends on how he is greeted in the store, in the workshop and hairdresser's store, how the bus driver or trolleybus driver drives the car.

You could not buy the right thing for the holiday, spoiled the whole evening. Delayed in the hairdresser's shop, waiting 10 minutes for the bus, late for the movie. But if you think hard and look deeper, it turns out that we are served not only by a saleswoman and a hairdresser, a chauffeur and a shoemaker, but also by many and many people.

Relationship between things

To trace the relationship between things, you can choose the simplest thing, well, for example, the chair on which we sit. A simple chair, without any wizardry. Who made it? A carpenter, of course, you answer. Is that right or wrong? On the one hand, it's true, but on the other hand, not quite.

Not just any carpenter. You need glue and nails to hold the parts together. The glue was made in a chemical plant, and the nails were made in a metal fabrication factory. Also, the carpenter was working with a tool of some kind - so someone must make that tool.

Let's move on. Where did the material - wood - come from? From a woodworking plant or factory, where workers from raw wood make boards, bars, plywood. So the chair includes the labor of these workers. Logs to this mill were brought from the forest, (more: What is the usefulness of the forest).

Loggers worked there - felling trees, clearing them of limbs. That would seem to be all. But no, it's not over yet. Metal for nails, for tools, for the machine at the woodworking mill, for saws at logging, for the tractor that dragged logs from the forest, for the electric locomotive that carried boards to the city, had to be smelted from pig iron in open-hearth furnaces, pig iron from ore in the blast furnace.

So, add the labor of the metallurgists. Well, if we talk about ore and blast furnaces, we can't forget about the miners who extracted ore and coal (more: Natural energy carriers) - you can't get metal without them. Is that it?

No, not all again. The factory that makes nails, the woodworking mill, the furniture factory itself needs electricity to run the motors of the machines and machines. The electric current is given by the power plant. The power plant runs turbines and generators.

If we go on in a new circle, we go back again to the open-hearth furnaces and blast furnaces that gave the steel for those turbines and generators, the miners, and so on. We also forgot about the builders who built all these plants, factories, power plants. Without them, there would be no chair for you either!

And everyone together - carpenter, metal worker, woodworker, logger, metallurgist, miner, power plant worker, builder and so on - you can't list them all on one page - you also need to eat and dress.

And here we have to add to the already long list of people who have to do with the simplest thing - a chair - milkmaids, and tractor drivers, and cotton growers, and zootechnicians, and spinners, and weavers, and shoemakers, and together with them again and again - miners and oil workers, metal workers and metallurgists, (more: History of steel production), who made machines for agriculture, for textile and shoe factories.

From all this we can conclude that each thing is really worthy of respect because the labor of many workers of golden hands has been put into it. Here are listed the professions of those people who participated in the creation of the chair.

What to say then about more complicated things. Try, if you are interested, to travel to the world of professions yourself, exploring the biography of things. It's a very interesting endeavor. And in everything there is a correlation of mood and work, because in each thing is invested with human labor.
