+We noticed that an IRC server of my company, where a Reddit chat was hosted,
+was down.  We didn't know if it was just turned off or if it broke down.
+My boss takes a man that looked like Morgan Freeman with him, because he has
+more knowledge than him on networking, to go find that server.  They head into
+an elevator and I join them.  I think another of my coworkers came with us too.
+
+It had rained outside, but now the sun was shining.  The asphalt was still very
+wet with many puddles.  Along a street, we open a bunch of manholes until we
+find the server.  It was a black computer case, a pretty small form factor and
+horizontal.  The hole it was in was a rectangular bathtub.  A gray pipe was
+going through that bathtub.  The computer was probably quite wet, at least
+humid from the rain; the hole did not look waterproof at all.
+
+I take the server back to the office using a plastic grocery bag.  Not one of
+those shitty and small bags but a sturdy bag that one of the department store
+brands of France uses to deliver groceries to people's homes.  My boss also has
+one of those bags, and as I start to go back to the office I remember I left my
+phone on some box along the street, the kind of which hosts electric equipment
+or phone lines or stuff like that.
+
+I grab the phone and put it in my boss' bag, to keep my hands free apparently.
+My boss had attached the two handles of his bag to a thick khaki rope that was
+attached to something else along the street.  The bag was thus suspended in the
+air and he had no effort to make at all while I was grabbing the phone.
+
+Once we got back to the office, my boss and Morgan Freeman went into another
+room with both bags to deal with the server.  They accidentally took my phone
+with them.

+I was in some sort of racing video game where the provided vehicles were not
+just sports cars: there were weirder choices like a 9-seat minivan.  I took it
+and got to the tutorial race, just one lap around a block.  Everyone was
+driving on the right side of the road but I kept going on the left side.
+A voice was explaining how the shifter worked: it was in "american" style,
+which means it had 2 or 3 forward gears and a thrust reverser (the things on
+airplane turbofan engines that redirects some of the air into the opposite
+direction to help with braking).  After the lap was completed, I turned right
+into a train station's parking to reach a gas station a little further away.
