Me Not Very Bright

Have you ever had someone outright completely insult your intelligence?  I don't ever proclaim myself to be smart or even slightly intelligent however when someone insults the little bit of intellect I DO have I tend to not be very pleased.  This was the case this morning during a conversation whereupon I was so informed that I did not have the education or the mental wherewithal to attend a course about, of all things, internet web design.  The matter of taking this one day, free course, needed to be consulted with another member of the team who could advise if my little brain, with limited knowledge and education, would benefit from taking something so obviously over my head.  I hung up the phone and sat there stunned.  I don't normally talk (out loud) to myself but this was the one time I said "I just had my intelligence insulted!" (lets pretend there was at least a cat in the room who heard this proclamation and nodded knowingly).  After the shock wore off I phoned JCP who listened to my rant, agreed that maybe me just wasn't very smart enough to take this type of course and told me to stick with the easy stuff, like coloring and shape sorting.  My imagined revenge is to spend the weekend designing a completely detailed e-learning module on the internet and forwarding the link to the two people who need to decide if I could handle this type of course.  Will I do this?  Other than in my imagination, hell no!  Why give them the satisfaction.  I have a lot better things to do with my time this weekend......... ummmm like sporting events and celebrating the coming of Christmas with spirits.
