A person comes with a certain offer, you ask him questions, he begins to hesitate and swim in the topic, introduces you to another person who knows more, who pulls the next one along the chain to find out who the offer is coming from…

After all, there is demand on one side and supply on the other. What could possibly go wrong?
You collect all the information you receive about the task into a procedure, send it to the customer, and wait for them to send you the prepared procedure to see if you have understood everything correctly.…
And so, at the end of the day, you receive the promised procedure from the other offering party, open it and… fuck it, admiring your own creation, which passed through a chain of intermediaries from the “customer” and came out on the other side from the “offering”…
