I can see through you :) <3

I remember on one evening out at a club, I ran into one of my co-workers from years prior during my days as a waitress. (Yes, even socialites have crappy jobs sometimes.)

He seemed quite excited to see me, and regaled me with stories of how he recently finished law school and opened up his own firm. He also told me how he is now owner of this fine venue.

Okay. I'm not dumb. There is no possible way that within 2 years someone can begin & complete both undergraduate and graduate law school, open up their own firm after being a convicted felon, and then own one of the largest lounges in DC.

At the time, I humored him and asked him how his "job" is going and told him how great it is that he can ascend the ranks "so quickly." I then questioned him on the various promoters working at this club, and he seemed flabbergasted. He changed his story to being part-owner to full time owner.

I can see through you!! Even though I may smile and humor you out of politeness, that doesn't mean I've lost all common sense.

Please don't make up stories to impress people of your past-- it just makes you seem silly!! There's nothing wrong with being a regular club-goer, with a regular job. Just buy me a good-to-see-you-again-drink, and we can be best friends forever! :)
