Once I have a trip with my workmate. We had discussion about many themes, and finaly he share with me very important information (as He thought). He told me about some conspirology video, where former KGB officer explicate some conspiracy theory about masonry, shadow goverments, etc. It didn't interest me much, but my colleague was quite rational, so I didn't ignore his advice and took theese videos from him. There were 60 hours of boring narrative, I watched only 1,5 hour and couldn't endure more. So I postpone theese videous on my office computer. It occupies substantial part of my disc, but it wasn't a problem at the moment. But time was running, disk available spase was shrinking, Firs I deleted all films, then I deleted all music. But every time I thought to delete those giant videos, some feeling didn't let me to do this, I still believed that there was something important, but at the same time, I couldn't make myself to watch it.<br /> Finaly, I feel Lack of disk space even for my work files. Theese videos makes me sick, but I steel suffer this dumb situation. Untill one day I was sent on a learning courses to another city. And, literally an hour before i leave my working place, my colleague asked me to use my pc to run models. I couldn't refuse, so I was forced to free some space on the disk. There were only two possible choices - I delete my work files, or I delete conspiracy videos. Of course, I delete videos. I was feeling like I do something very wrong, but circumstanсes didn't give me choice.<br /> Next day I was prepering to a trip, and day after I arrive to Sochi. My coworkers attend these learning courses before, they lived in wonderful 5 star hotel. But it occured, that there were no rooms at that hotel, despite it was october, and it was quite cool in Sochi. It was strange, but I wasn't upset, I choose the nearest available hotel.<br /> When I arrive to the hotel, I saw it was quite small, but nice. I was thirsty, and find out, that water is very expensive in hotel. So, I asked, where nearest grocery store is, and went there. It turned out, that it was quite distant, especialy first time. I walked and walked, there were no people or buildings around, only road and cars, and hot sun (whether was very fine). Finally, I saw a little oasis on the roadside, there were three or four grocery stores, and after them there was endless road again. I go into groceries, it was usual little shop. I bought some food and water, and intended to leave that place, when my eyes stumbled upon some strange glass case. It was standing in the center of this shop. I decided to find out, what is in there, and i wasn't dissapointed. When I look through the glass i was shoked. First that i saw was cd with that conspiracy videos.Then I looked left and saw a pile of vhs with that videos again. Also, there were lectures of that KGB officer in text form.<br /> I still don't know, what purpose was intended with that little exposion. But It was 100% coincidence with my mind. When i walked alone to that shop, I thought about what could be in that videous, feel disapointed because of deletion of that files. And there, in ordinary shop I found that totaly wierd glass </p> <p>case.<br />
