Heroes comes back tonight AND we have a new office villain

Tonight at 9, Heroes returns to NBC. This is easily the best show on television. If you haven't watched it, do yourself a favor and tune in tonight.

In that same hero/villain vein, we have a new bad guy at work. For blogging safety, I will call him Lurch.

Lurch started about two weeks ago. He's one of these sales guys that thinks the world of himself and nothing about anyone else. He's sold to the highest level of executives at some of the biggest companies in the world, BUT is still driving a beater of a used car from the late '90s filled with enough trash that it looks like he lives in it. He uses two laptops while at work when he doesn't even have the need for one!

The worst part about Lurch is that he's in my territory. He is emphatic about being brought up to speed about our region, and who has to do that? You guessed it, me!

Lurch also has loudly proclaimed to everyone encased in the sales pods that he reads 60 hours a week (sorry looking at porn, doesn't count Lurch!) and could "filet us like fishes" if we dared to lock horns with him in a politcal debate.

It looks like the only way out of these terrible new circumstances is to accept M's offer to become her account manager. Problem is, I've already dubbed her the meanest co-worker ever.

Any thoughts on how to deal with a six foot five, 40+ year old, sales genius blow hard would be greatly appreciated.

Obviously you meant that Heros is the best TV show on until February because Lost is better than all the rest... and it may be that I am hopped up on Office episodes because I just got done watching season two, but I think your Lurch situation sounds like an episode from said program.

The Lurch situation would be a perfect Office episode. This guy is too much!

A very busy week for the TV. I know Heroes will be good and The Office will be funny - being hopeful for Journeyman, and Bionic Woman... and welcome back Chris...
