When I was first told about office politics I thought it was some sort of office version of a high school student government. I thought that we got to vote on different people in the office to be president and then they would go fourth and fill the duties of the other office people. Basically the popular office people would be voted in, then get the cool offices in the building and basically fight to get more vending machines and water coolers so we can sit around and talk about popular TV shows from last night. Man some times high school is just like real life.
Turns out I was way wrong on this one. Looks like office politics is a bunch of back stabbing and being shady to get their own personal gain. What would our fore fathers think? Since I am just a new employee I really have no say in any matter or can control too much. I do not know which parties there are in office politics, but I am considering the Libertarian Party. Not that it is all bad, but it is a new world I am being exposed to.
Working at Ohio State almost feels like working for a big corporation like AT&T or Time Warner. Basically my life is slowly turning into an unfunny version of the movie "Office Space" I am serious. We have a guy in the office whose is the like the Michael Bolton character except his name is Andy Devito and he does not like when you make jokes about him and the actor (serious). I do not have a red stapler that I am obsessed with, its blue. If anyone tries to take my blue stapler I am going to burn the office down.
