I can definitely appreciate the frustration that comes with working
within an entrenched system and veteran engineers/developers that are
used to a certain way of doing things and don't necessarily care
about your "artsy" ideas.  And I agree, you definitely have to pick
your battles, and hopefully let the data you accumulate from usability
speak for itself.

One way to get coworkers who might be skeptical of the value of UX is
to invite them to watch some usability testing, which can be a very
eye opening experience.

Best wishes!
