Hmm...I have a rather large ego. It is this ego that makes me do the
absolute best I can for everything that I attempt. It's also what
makes me try as hard as I can as my ego doesn't handle failure very
well.

I think it is also what caused me to recently get the highest review
ever given to any here-less-than-a-year employee in this department
for the last several years.
