Greatest happy b'day ever ?

Last week, precisely at Thursday, I got fired.. Or something like that I think..

You see, I've been struggling building some e-commerce application from zero, well further down I think I started from negative one hundreds if I may describe it with number.. A bit too much maybe but, I admit I never done anything close to that.. So I had a research, draw the plans, design, architecture analysis, database designing etc you name it!.. and while I did all that I was also building the application.. One man army, a familiar picture of IT Industry nowdays as a result of bloodbath price war on last decade..

back to topic.. Now the worse part is my boss, the ape.. He kept pushing and gone angry at me.. He think something like that should be done in 4 days..

Yeah, 4 days my ass!! It was a tiresome effort to explain technically about what I was doing.. It was like explaining how to build a airplane to a prehistoric dumb ape or worse.. Trust me on that!!

For a simple analogy, he knows that I've build a bicycle, with pedal, wheel and steer etc.. and now he wants me to build an airplane, which is I've never made before.. while I was doing it, that ape kept saying that it takes too long,.. And trust me every time I tried to explain all that aerodynamic thing, Bernoully's Principle, gravity, machinery he just responded with his disappointment, anger, and dumbness that I'd rather not wasting my time to hear..

So that very day he came down and put a meeting and asked me..
"what are our status? 80 percent? 90 percent?", He asked with mockery..
"When will it finished? today? tonight? next week? next month? next year?", okay, he started the war..

I imagine, what would Thomas Alva Edison said when his boss came down and asked him this? What would Graham Bell said?

Well whatever, I tried with all manners to explain it.. I'm a straightforward person when talked about things like this, about things that I really know..

So we had an argument, words after words and suddenly, the ape went BOOM!
Surprised me and everybody else in the room.. yelled at me told me get out.. and that ape even tried to throw some billboard markers at me.. silly..

Well maybe someone at some other company have already successfully build this module, maybe ebay does, mabye Amazon does, but hell everybody knows they hired a group of phd's from standout university there.. but here they have me and only me, a Bachelor from corner of Asia's deepshit that people wont even notice on the map. I think I'm the one who have the most resource about all technology required and related to this project. This ape never gave out training, and all he did is hand me a half page of specification which sounds like "I want some kind a bicycle that can fly across countries". While I must do my own research, pushing my hours more than 12 hours a day, through Saturday and Sunday for three weeks to build that.

So I went to a friend, friends and talked about it.. I gave it a lot of thought.. And finally I realized that all just shits there.. no career, no raise, no bonus, no reward and no respect..

I thank God for all this lesson.. He really knows how to say "Happy Birthday!".. lol
