John - good point. I still get my stuff done. Sometimes he will interfere in that he comes in and bugs me when I'm trying to work. I guess what really irks me is watching someone get the same degree and credentials as me who works 1000 times less than I do. It's aggravating that - because I am who I am - I work harder than almost anyone I know, and I feel not appreciated for it. I feel like - and this may be selfish - that I should get some kind of recognition on top of what he gets simply because I work my *** off day in and day out.

I don't like being complimented the same as a guy who barely breaks a mental sweat on a weekly basis.
