Sometimes I feel like Superman

Sometimes I feel like Superman. Like when I get something right that nobody thought I would., or when a teacher calls on me in class because they think I'm not paying attention and I own them.
Great example. I work at White Jones. The one on North Main, not South Main. Ok, so I cut keys, and car keys are hard to cut, but Toyota keys are like the hardest keys there are. Usually Red has to cut them (Red is the oldest guy in the store that had been cutting keys for like 30 years and even HE has trouble with Toyota keys sometimes). Ok so the other day this guy comes in with a Toyota key and I had just start cutting it, and this other guy, who is kind of the boss, but not the boss (The ACE Hardware chain of command is VERY complex) comes over and is all "Since you started finish it, but that key isn't going to work, this customer is going to have to come back when Red is here so he can cut it"
So, I ignored the condescension, and cut the key. Then went out to the customer's car and had them try the key. It worked, and although it may seem asinine to you, for about 7 minutes after that I felt like Superman.
