One of the defining qualities of a good politician is maturity.
You know I really can't stand Office Politicians. I'm sure you know the sort I'm talking about, the ones that have that plasticky toothy grin, always have the right answers, that air of false sincerety about them yet they always make you feel that if they were a lake there'd be crocodiles? I'm sure you know the sort, every company has them... Well the company i work for has tons of them, practically everyone seems to enjoy the game... I suppose it can't be helped as the nature of the company is telesales. Yes, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I do telesales...
When I joined up I was told I wasn't going to do telesales, i wasn't going to be a telemarketer. Lies! All Lies I Tell You! My official position was supposed to be a Business Development Position which by definition means you're building relationships with current business to create more business, none of that cold calling nonsense... Well within a month the deifinition of my work changed from being called development to being called sales... Yes my boss is the gratest salesman on earth, a real good one... And he's also good at politicking....
My whole point is sometimes i wish that people could just be straight forward with what they're thinking and be objective about their actions. Why is it that in order to get ahead in this world one has to be so cut throat and inconsiderate of other people? Surely there must be a better way? But then again there was a wise old Indian sage that once said "Go into the forest. You will see that the trees that are crooked are all still standing whereas the trees that grew straight have all been cut down." It's hard for a nice guy to ever win. *sigh*
