I went to China by plane to attend some sort of important keynote about
|
|
cybersecurity or about Python. We were waiting for it to begin, sitting on
|
|
some benches that reminded me of those installed in churches, in a room that
|
|
had a pretty old style, like the royal stuff you might see in European palaces:
|
|
red walls and sliding doors made of dark wood with gold ornaments.

A mom and her son were sitting on a sofa, looking in front of them at the
|
|
outside world through an opened sliding door. It was cloudy, almost rainy.
|
|
The mom asks her son to reply to some questions, as training to a contest he
|
|
would be a part of. The only question where a valid answer would lead to mom
|
|
giving a prize (some candy I think) was "What is the war of friendship".
|
|
|
|
A little girl passes by and hears the question and says "I know the war of
|
|
friendship, I visited it once in Israel". I guessed that "friendship" (amitié
|
|
in french) might just be something phonetically related to a place in Israel.
|
|
The mom got annoyed at the little girl for "ruining the joke".

I remember someone, maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger, intervening quickly to
|
|
implement the Healer, a tool that... heals. To do so, he played leapfrog in
|
|
space. People took his hand to help push him. Nobody was wearing a spacesuit.

I got teleported into some sort of home improvement store. Although I am used
|
|
to getting access to the IT department of many buildings using some special
|
|
keys I have that I put in a special machine, the machine instead gives me a
|
|
jute bag labeled "Floor Bag 3". The machine is the size of a closet and its
|
|
front side is some blue grate. A blue plate lets me put the keys, and a
|
|
receptacle holds whatever comes out of the machine. It seems the machine is
|
|
sending me to work on the assembly lines instead of in the IT department.
|
|
|
|
Half of the store is not really a store but a factory. Picture a store with a
|
|
large glass entrance with the cashdesks to the left after the entrance, normal
|
|
aisles, the blue machine, then a large conveyor belt surrounded by yellow or
|
|
blue grating with many workers around it.
|
|
|
|
Towards the back, high above, are a bunch of I-beams supporting some metal
|
|
grating and yellow handrails. Below it is a large round lamp, like the ones
|
|
you might find in a garage. That lamp was really necessary because the glass
|
|
entrance is the only other source of light.
|
|
|
|
All the blue and yellow reminds me of Ikea or Goodyear.
|
|
|
|
Upon seeing me with the "Floor Bag", another employee working here tells me
|
|
with a smirk that my bosses probably wanted to punish me for some sort of
|
|
mistake I have made. That employee ends up explaining that "Healer" was some
|
|
sort of pun, a joke for newbies similar to "elbow oil".
