Okay - I set this thing up - and I mean to use it. I am going to use it for learning and lessoning. And I am not even sure what that means yet.

The motivation of an arch-enemy. What would Batman have done with all his spare time and money if Gotham had not been so full of crafty meanies? How far would Hitler have gone without that strange, overwhelming hatred of Jews?

What would I have accomplished without Evil C?

Evil C is my arch-enemy at work. I hate him. I do do do do do do do do do do do do do. HE doesn't even like this kind of work. Doesn't even enjoy learning about our work. Does not feel he has to understand our work or our clients. Studied something completely off topic with low income potential and is here for the money.

Oh! and the money. He makes 135% what I make. For having no skills whatsoever beyond the crafty villainous kind. He is absolutely the best office politician I have ever encountered. I try to keep my cool by remembering that I have much I could learn from this person.

I just got him kicked off my project. Fucker dropped a ball on the one day I've had off in almost a year - my wedding anniversary - and then tried to pretend like it was my fault because I did not tell him about the ball dangling in the air. Keep in mind that he was actually THE LEAD of the project, but I was really doing all the work. So I figured if I was going to be on the hook for screw ups then I was damn sure going to get all the credit. So I took the project.

But - wow - when he was one the project there was always an excuse if things didn't work out. It was due to his ignorance or indifference or irresponsibility.

Now there is only my responsibility.

What have I learned?
