What is the biggest obstacle you have overcome in your existence?

My biggest obstacle? Pick one. Lindsey McDonald, Gavin Parks, Linwood Murrow.

The first two were nothing, really. Minor obstacles. Pathetic competition. Barely even worthy. But they prepared me for the others. For Linwood. I did everything for that man. I was loyal to him when I hadn't been loyal to anyone in years. I gave him my all. I gave his company and his projects every bit of my attention and I worked my ass off for him. Did he ever thank me? Did he ever offer me a promotion? A bigger office? No, he only threatened me and used me to take the fall when he fucked up.

He liked to speak of my failures. My failures. As if his failure to bring in Angel and Connor wasn't the biggest one of all. Linwood liked to pit me against Gavin, as if Gavin was actually worth being pitted again. When I spent hours in that building working to make him look good, he continually brought up everything I had ever done wrong. And then I started sleeping with Wesley and who knows why that drove Linwood so nuts. Maybe he was ridiculous enough to think he had a shot or maybe he just didn't like that my attention was finally focused on something beyond his slimy little world. So I spoke with the Senior Partners. Mr Suvarta, to be exact and together we decided that the best way to deal with this particular obstacle was to dispose of him.

So I disposed of him and took his position within Wolfram and Hart.

I don't overcome obstacles. I simply remove them.
