Pushing Back

After careful consideration I’ve decided to push back. 
I wrote Tiny and notified him that I would not be doing his work for him.  I decided to do this after a conversation I had with another coworker who is also working with Tiny.  Apparently Tiny is “so busy” with the work I am doing that he cannot help this other coworker with her stuff.  I figure, if that’s what he’s saying than it might as well be so!
That, and I am pretty tired of digging the man out of holes.  I don’t need to make him successful when all he does is try to sink me.  I’m through with that.
I’ve also decided on a new strategy for getting around my bad-mouthing manager.  Personal References. 
Why I didn’t think of this before, I really don’t know.  Normally this is something you always do when looking for a job.  I think people prefer not to provide this type of stuff, but with my manager being not so pleasant…well it will only help in the long run. 
I had another interview today and mentioned personal references to the hiring manager.  He got so excited I thought he was going to jump up and down.  Like I’d gotten him a really great gift or something. 
We’ll see how this one goes…
