00:34 goods as they pass by.
00:35 And what's your job eight hours of the day?
00:37 To keep looking at goods and if one of them is not proper, then you pull it out.
00:41 Right?
00:42 Now this kind of job is something no sane man can live with.
00:47 It will kill you.
00:48 So the concept of work-life balance came in.
