politics


Second round of the French presidential electi...Image via Wikipedia
i have found out that i am not a politics person. 

i didn't think i ever was, but i thought it only applied to actual political topics...such as elections and voting and such.  now i have found out that i am not a "politics on the job" type of person. 

i'm all about rules and such.  i like having protocol to follow, definitely.  but starting into a new situation, with some people thinking that the politics are one way when quite obviously they are not...scary. 

i almost got myself into a situation and we'll just say, "thank god" i didn't follow through with the logical chain of events that were presented to me and that i was TOLD to do.  it would have been disasterous for my career apparently.  but, UGH, who knows this stuff?  i always thought that the ultimate political job was in a school system.  it's so difficult and hard to manuver because there are always ulterior motives.  let's just say, i've found a little bit more to bite off in this situation.

I hate office politics. I hate political politics. I hate it all.

What Kate said.

I found working hospital was terribly political. I worked 4 different hospitals over a 10 year period. I chose to schedule myself mostly when management & admin were not there (working second shift) so that i didn't have to deal with the stupid politics.

Good luck.

a little something about me and the life i choose to live!
