You can’t fight people for who they are. I’ve learned you need to recognize character in people  and adjust as necessary if you have to work with them. But at the same time I expect ‘those others’ to have the same respect and treat me accordingly. There’s no reason they can’t learn things too.

I find my patience and tolerance being severely stretched with my mentor and friend. I do recognize several things including the great opportunity to learn from a guru, this necessary part of work that the company knows is critical. This will further increase my skill set, thus position me better in the eyes of the company. It’s a fine balance of running with this opportunity and telling him he is a dick.

The flip side, this process interests me only a little.

I’m going to run with ‘it’s an opportunity’ and drink all the lemonade from the lemon. Moaning and ****ing won’t help in any way. So I’m off back to studying.
