Whether or not he's worried is a personal question. But she's a real dumbass. There are plenty of competent girls who could have worked in her place. But they got her)))) Why's that? She knows futures well and Schwager...well he's so interesting and we wanted to do something different this year)))
Excitement is another correspondent-operator problem. First you have to give the person a chance to rumble, make a recommendation, then shoot. Here she is sitting, and the cameraman is standing right next to the table, holding the camera on his shoulder. Anyone would look like a woodpecker with a cameraman working like that.
Волнуется, это еще проблема корреспондента-оператора. Сначала надо дать человеку проржаться, проужиматься, дать рекомендации, потом снимать. Здесь она сидит, оператор стоит вплотную с столу, камеру на плече держит, еще бы на табуретку встал. При такой работе оператора любой будет полным дятлом выглядеть.
Panraughi girl, eh?;)
That's the funny thing, you put out the raw material, you can tell. Still a clever girl, the way she is about Rezviakov and his comrades.
Kama Sutra??Bullshit...you should see the poses I sit in in front of the computer...)))))))
Never doubt your attractiveness! Remember, the scales lie, people are jealous, and the mirror is a crooked bastard!
It has been argued that the ability to laugh is the only thing that distinguishes humans from animals...
In principle, I agree with this, if we exclude greed, cruelty, pride, guile, hypocrisy, alcoholism, glamour and the desire to fuck one's neighbour.
Alcoholism is a widespread ailment among animals. For instance, beasts of prey are well aware that some fruit containing sugar, when overripe, begins to ferment. They wait patiently for the fruit to "ripen", after which they begin to drink heavily.
They drink until they run out of fruit. They go out, as usual, for several days at a time. What's worse than a man? - You can never have too much booze!
A word of advice to anyone who puts soup on the cooker and goes to the computer: take a spoon with you. This item will remind you that you are cooking something =)))
Been there, done that with a spoon too. The only option is not to leave the kitchen until it warms up.

Buy a microwave.
But to avoid reheating five times, take a spoon with you as a reminder)
He shows the note to the entire class and tells them that he will give $20 to the person who gives the most money for it. There is, however, a small condition. The person who was right behind the winner will have to give the professor the amount he was willing to give for the $20.
To be clear - let's say the two highest bids were $15 and $16. The winner gets $20 in exchange for $16, and the second person would have to give the professor $15. Those are the terms.
Bidding starts at one dollar and quickly reaches $12-$16. At this point, most students drop out of the auction and only the two people with the highest bids remain. Slowly but surely the auction approaches the $20 figure.
Obviously, it's impossible to win, but one doesn't want to lose either, for the loser not only gets nothing, he'll also have to pay the professor the face value of his last bid.
As soon as the auction crosses the $21 mark, the class bursts into laughter. MBA students, supposedly so smart, are willing to pay above par for a twenty-dollar note. Indeed -comical and very aptly describes the behaviour of MBA holders.
However, the auction goes on and quickly reaches $50, then a hundred, all the way up to $204 - Bazerman's record for his teaching career. Incidentally, during his training sessions, the professor does the same trick with top managers and CEOs of large companies - and always sells $20 above face value (the money raised is spent on charity).
Why do people invariably pay more money for twenty dollars, and what is the professor trying to show? Humans, especially in business, have a weakness - loss aversion or fear of loss. Numerous experiments show that people behave extremely irrationally and even inadequately when they start to lose money.
At first all students think that they have an opportunity to get free money. After all, they are not fools and will not pay more than twenty quid for a twenty-dollar note. However, as soon as the bidding reaches $12-$16, the second person realizes that he is in danger of losing a lot, so he starts bidding more than he intends to, until the auction reaches $21. At this point both bidders will lose money. But one will lose only a dollar, and the other twenty. To minimise losses, each person tries to be the winner. However, this race only results in both bidders losing more and more money, until the size of the losses reaches such an amount that it simply does not make sense to dig the hole any deeper.
Thus, the desire to get a free twenty turns out to be a loss. Best of all, there is a wealth of data - especially in the stock market and casinos - that shows the Bazerman phenomenon in action. A person begins to lose money. Instead of locking in a loss, he hopes he can win back the loss - and almost always loses more and more money.
