The Trick Is.....

never get involved in office politics!
one of the beautiful things with AS is just ignoring all the bitching that goes on around you. I am refering to real life and to the internet.
i like my job, because i can just shut myself in my room and ignore everyone.

That sounds nice actually, I'm not a fan of bitching and hate being surrounded by it so the fact that you can shut yourself in a room to get away from it must be comforting in a way.

I too am not a fan of the constant arguing on the internet and everywhere. Some times I'm the one to blame in the arguements since I have this habit of starting them when I don't get my way. I don't work as yet but I hate what you're talking about.

Where I work it's just me, the crusher, and the ore samples I prepare for analysis. I just let the rest of them have their soap opera

I agree with that!

It's ironic, I think because the only way I've found that coworkers will really listen to me is when I point out reasons why they are all upset. And I have to admit, I am very frustrated with work right now, and have done a lot of complaining+solution finding+more frustration since no viable solutions have been implemented. It is not office politics, though, I don't think. When I hear "office politics" I think of power struggles and he said/she said kind if things.

My complaining is more of a voicing of deep seated frustration and resentment about the foolish, destructive way the store (and company) is being run in its search for the almighty bottom dollar. Plus, I think my work is the perfect example of the Jeeves Principle, or how in most large organizations the really intelligent people end up as subordinates while the blandly charismatic, effortlessly slender, excessively well-groomed ones end up as top dogs.

But I guess that is not what this is really about, huh? As a rule, I leave everything like gossip well enough alone...it's safer, less confusing, and far less aggravating.

I avoid Gossip like the Plague.
