Office Politics
I hate office politics. With a passion.
I unfortunately couldn’t bring myself to post the too-specific rant I wanted to include here, and have erased it all. Alas.
I’ll have to leave it at exaggerated hand-waving, eye-rolling, muttered cursing, and the following:
I don’t grok people who offer exceptionally lame excuses for refusing to participate in a corporate-wide endeavor, particularly when this endeavor is one that a) can greatly enhance productivity for a large target audience and is also a benefit to the company as a whole, b) would have NO negative effect on said person’s group or projects, c) could only INCREASE visibility for said person, person’s group, and person’s projects.
Ah, if only I could provide details.
On a much less stressful note:
This weekend we head to Maine to help ready the cottages for the summer season. Even though it’ll probably be pretty chilly there on the water this time of year, it’ll be enough of a taste of heaven to keep me going until Memorial Day weekend, typically the first overnight of the season. I’m hoping against all hope that my camera will be back from the shop in the next day or two so I can take it with us Friday - I think there’s no place I enjoy capturing on film more. One of these days I’ll have to gather all the Cushing pictures together in one place, and finally write up the long-ish post about the area that I’ve been tossing about in my brain for the past 6 months. ’til then…
