few days ago, my friend told me that he is handling one big project. so I asked him what was that.
he said : " i'm handling a 20 million rupiahs worth project. great, isn't it? I mean, I am only 21 and my boss lets me handle this HUGE project."
uh-huh. brag much?
well maybe because that was his first multi million rupiahs project. so I went all smooth on him. I answered with exactly what he expected: " OMG that is super cool! congrats, man. you must be busy now. why don't you stop calling me and start to work on that? you might wont handle any projects aside of this if you mess this one up."
oooh... what a good friend am I? <----- also bragging
and yet, he answered me with the most annoying answer I could think of.
he said: " look, I know you are smart. why don't you go back to college and getting a degree so you can get a job like me and handle your own multi million worth project? I think its a shame that you dropped your chance of getting A BETTER LIFE like that. any DEGREE-LESS PEOPLE wont get this kind of job, less, getting trusted enough for this kind of project. "
so my life is not good enough, according to him.
Man, you know what? I hate to brag back but he really got me on my nerves.
so I told him the truth:
"dude, i'm sorry but I gotta tell you this. I had my very first project at the age of 17. I made my own catering company, sent proposals, joined the tender bid, made the contract, managed the project, and successfully fulfilled the contract, all by myself and my employees. and that was a 210 millions rupiahs worth project. you can ask my parents if you don't believe me. or should I show you the contract? I have 10 employees and I didn't brag to you at all. or underestimated you for being an undergraduate that time. moreover judged you, unlike you who has just judged me wrongly. I might look young, well I am young. but what you are bragging to me now, I've done it years ago. I am 4 steps ahead of you, and will always be if you keep on being a small minded, oblivious kind of guy."
he was quite for a moment and said : " you don't have to BRAG about it, bitch." and he hung up the phone.
mmmm....?
I felt bad, really. I didn't mean to do that but I was pretty offended. and I got a nasty temper so.... it was just sort of happened.
that is why I hate it when people ask me about:
1. my job
2. why I am no longer going to college
3. my age
because it turns out that those 3 things mixed, trigger stupid conclusions:
Hiira is an oblivious, liar, delusional, unexperienced, poor little girl.
am I?
