The bus was stuck in traffic. I lost sense of time. Finally, there was a stop point

And trousers suffered a dramatic defeat.
Acting like Johnny Depp from Jarmusch movie, I went into supermarket. Took bananas, apples, a pack of Idaho peas and one yeast-free bread without sugar.

The question was without any answers below, so I just wrote «Handballand». As I was told a bit later, my «Handballand» act disgraced the school.
Oh God, good old days when I didn't have a job and a second job, didn't study at the university, didn't have a financial debt… It was just life.
I finished the dinner and settled down. An hour later I will be speaking about second job projects with another boss. For what sake? All I can say is just I can't stand the bus rides anymore.

ended with the following words:
– We have no money for you.
I made a strategically correct decision to find any possible way to earn money.
The choice fell on a brick factory, where working conditions had no requests for an official employment. At the factory I was met by an old boss: «First time here?»
