I expected as much.
  I pulled the same thing with teachers. From at least the 5th
  grade onwards that I can recall, "One paragraph" consisted of a
  single indentation, and filling up as much paper as was
  available.

  Complaints of "run on sentence", "More than a paragraph"
  abounded in red pen. Did I stop? No. I was going to overwhelm
  the teacher. My thoughts were, "You want the answer? Oh, you'll
  get the answer alright".

  It was my way of sorting out teacher capabilities. If they were
  going to grade *me*, I was going to grade *them*. I never held
  teachers at a higher level, not after my 2nd grade teacher was a
  man-hating idiot. The only woman I ever hated. They were just
  older and were my teachers due to their assigned position and an
  accident of timing of birth.

  I had the same opinion of bosses. Never had a fear. I could've
  been them in different circumstances. I do my job at a
  beyond-expectations level but I don't do it for them. I do it as
  a test of myself for myself. Their needs were secondary. That it
  happened to make each company significant unexpected profit due
  to my efforts didn't matter. I just wanted to test my
  capabilities and get a paycheck. Their business wasn't mine.
