Yesterday comet...
Mirko wrote to me on Viber yesterday. I was happy. You know that feeling when your friend writes and your brain is signaling happiness. It is an immediate "red flag" to you that you will get out of an everyday routine. Wife, kids, work, eat, sleep... You know what I mean.
But he doesn't have my happiness in mind. He had his happiness in mind. For sure he is thinking: "What are friends for? I will ask Mitja!" Enthusiastically for sure!
So, the text message was about his idea to organize a Scratch code course for kids in the local elementary school. Our kids go to this school and they are similar ages 8 and 11 y/o.
"Bloody capitalist exploiter"
My first thought was "bloody capitalist exploiter".
I hate him.
But he is not a regular capitalist exploiter. No no no. He is a "friend". For years he is a friend. Talks to you, go on holidays with you, and New Year parties, sit with you in a coffee shop drinking coffee. Getting to know you better.
Just when you think Mirko is my friend, he casually puts ideas in your brain. He never says: "You must do this or that!". With him, it is so normal like drinking water. "It would be nice if somebody organized Scratch courses for school kids."
Hell! What just happened?
He knows that my brain reacts to his idea by instantaneously drooling with adrenalin and endorphins. By the time I start thinking rationally, it was all over.
I found myself finishing the first presentation for the beginners along with the course synopsis and complete plan of how to open a coding school for kids. Just starting to write a business plan. My God! Friend?
A "bloody capitalist exploiter"!
You know, Mirko is my friend and an IT company owner.
Next time "Man from the 80'".
