Crap
Wednesday, August 1, 2012
Me: A paper has already been written about that.
Him: Do you mean this (while glancing at the paper)? This is crap. Who wrote this?
Me: I did (while looking at him straight in the eye).
Him: I’m sorry. This is so awkward (his face reddening in shame).
Me: It’s fine. I’m professional enough not to take offense at your remark. You obviously have not read the paper so… (shrugged)
Him: I browsed it. I’m so sorry. This is so awkward.
Me: So what makes it crap?
Him: (bowed his head and said nothing)
Him: (after a long and uncomfortable silence) I really want to apologize. It was unprofessional of me to say that.
Me: Forget about it. It’s nothing, really. I know myself too well to let such things bother me. So it's crap. You can throw it away. You don't have to use it. Let's just move on, okay?
Him: I’m new here and what I did was unethical.
Me: Then learn from it.
