Russian term or phrase: Эти дела
Сначала меня назначили контроллером пирожкового цеха. Когда я в первый раз пришла в этот цех, мне предложили сдать портфель и надели белый халат. Я, как мне было сказано, все проверила, все записала, сдала халат и направилась за портфелем. Мой портфель так разбух, что я его не узнала. Я поняла в чем дело и начала возражать, но меня уговаривая начали потихоньку выпроваживать. С чем? С пирожками! Домашние были довольны, а я нет, т.к. боялась *этих дел*.
