Soul woman

I'm trying to avoid letting Mistress Mouth become biased by the experiences of myself and others concerning Anarchist Prime. She's the management layer between him and me, and I am really quite absurdly grateful to her for being that.

As you may have guessed, I don't like him at all. And now that I've got some space between us, and a second opinion available who, as yet, hasn't learned to hate his guts the way the rest of us do, I find myself doing a bit of soul-searching. In other words, have I been unfair to the man?

To be honest, I tend to think that mostly I haven't. I still think that the next mistake he makes will be his last, especially now that we've got somebody else with experience in the Quality department. But I do have to remind myself that he does actually know what he's doing, at least in some areas.

My main point, though, is that I currently can't even think of the man without my face twisting into at least a sneer. And I am struggling to avoid the trap of automatically pushing the documentation he gives me to the back of the to-do list. That would be a dramatically bad mistake. Mistress Mouth, on the other hand, can still work with him without wanting to sneer. I shouldn't like to change that just yet. No point in making her job more difficult than it has to be.
