That would be you. Nothing wrong with trying to find the “best” solution or answer.  The problem is the definition of “best” changes with circumstances.  There are no perfect solutions to many of life’s problems. The best you can do is have a positive attitude.  “I will be successful at whatever I do” attitude.

I know you well enough to say that you are going to be successful in whatever you chose.  It is more difficult for you and your generation than it was for me and mine. I really believe that luck played a major role in success in my generation, but persistence is more important in yours. Your grandfather told me that I should be the very best at whatever I did, not matter what the circumstances. That way I would rise to the top of whatever heap I was climbing.  Good advice.

This being said.  If you stay at CL, be the best they have and good things will happen. If you go to work with B, be the best that he has and good things will happen. In other words there are no “best” solutions or answers, only best efforts.
